Story of the human Barbie Jessica Alves

According to the Daily Mail, the 41-year-old left a Turkish hospital in October covered in bandages after her fifth facelift. Alves explained that dissolving her previous dermal fillers left her with nearly four inches of loose skin on her face. To address this, she underwent a “ponytail facelift,” a minimally invasive procedure that uses staples along the hairline to tighten the skin on her face and neck.

She was seen in a wheelchair and wearing a headscarf as she was helped to a waiting car after the procedure. The images quickly went viral, as the scene appeared nothing short of startling.

”If I pinched myself three or tour inches would come off in my hand. It was very elastic, like rubber, so the doctor was able to remove five inches of my skin,” the 41-year-old said.
