Ken Doll Plastic Surgery
A man who has spent tens of thousands of dollars on plastic surgery to look like a real-life doll has reportedly developed a serious case of body dysmorphic disorder. The man, known as “Human Ken Doll,” has undergone 72 cosmetic surgeries.
Despite doctors warnings against further procedures, Rodrigo Alves has vowed to have more. He’s also reportedly battling a life-threatening infection that’s causing his nose to “sink.”
Nose Jobs
A nose job (also known as rhinoplasty) is one of the most common cosmetic surgeries. During this procedure, your surgeon makes a cut (incision) within the nostrils or across the base of your nose to reshape the inside bone and cartilage.
A reshaping of the nose can change its appearance and boost your self-esteem. It can be performed for cosmetic reasons or to correct a medical issue, such as an irregularity in the cartilage that divides your nostrils.
Plastic surgery addict Rodrigo Alves, also known as the Human Ken Doll, has spent more than $750,000 on dozens of procedures to transform into a real-life Barbie doll, and his latest nose job could be his last. He says his “sinking” nose is in danger of collapsing, and doctors have warned him that he’ll suffer serious health problems if he doesn’t stop getting invasive operations.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that increases the size of your breasts. It can be done with saline implants or silicone gel.
Whether you choose a saline or silicone implant depends on your body, your surgeon’s preference, and how much enlargement you want. Some patients opt for fat transfer, which uses their own fat to increase volume.
Ken doll plastic surgery can be performed as an outpatient procedure, or you may need to stay overnight in the hospital. The procedure is usually completed in one to two hours.
Liposuction
Liposuction is a cosmetic surgery that removes fat to improve body contour. It can improve the shape of the chin, neck, cheeks, upper arms, breasts, abdomen, hips, thighs, knees, and calves.
A liposuction procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia. During the surgery, surgeons insert a cannula that suctiones out the unwanted fat.
The amount of fat removed during a liposuction procedure varies. It depends on your goals and the areas your surgeon works on.
During your liposuction procedure, Dr. Shridharani injects a solution that contains a mix of saline and numbing medicine into the targeted area. This numbing medicine helps the skin and fat separate from the surrounding structures so they won’t be damaged during the suctioning process.
Calf Augmentation
Calf augmentation is an effective body contouring procedure that uses silicone implants to enhance the size and shape of your lower legs. The implants can be placed under or over your calf muscle fibers, making them appear natural and toned.
The implants are made from soft, silicone gel that is designed to be durable yet gentle enough to mirror your natural calf muscles. During calf augmentation surgery, the surgeon will make an incision at the back of your knee, where a pocket between your calf muscle and tissue will be created to insert the implant.
The implant will then be placed in the pocket and secured using invisible stitches. Two surgical techniques are used to achieve calf implants: submuscular and subfascial.
Six-Pack Implants
When you’re at a weight loss plateau and haven’t been able to achieve the washboard abs you’ve always wanted, there are options. One option is abdominal etching, which uses liposuction to remove excess fat in the stomach area and create grooves to simulate more toned ab muscles.
Another popular option is six-pack implants, which are also known as abdominoplasty. During this procedure, small incisions are made at the belly button to insert six to eight individual implants over the abdominal muscle.
These implants are soft, flexible and designed to move with your body, giving you a more natural look. However, you should be aware that they are not for everyone as bruising, swelling and temporary pain can occur.
Hair Transplant
Hair transplants are a relatively new cosmetic procedure that aims to move healthy hairs from one part of your head (known as the donor area) to a bald or thinning part. A tube-like instrument punches round grafts out of the donor site and places them into tiny cuts made in your scalp.
Transplantation enables you to replace lost hair with natural-looking results. But the procedure does have some risks and a small chance that the transplanted hair will fall out or a noticeable scar may form.
