First operation
The path of transformation was long and thorny: in addition to the fact that the procedures are far from cheap, they are also very painful. It all started with changing the hated shape of the nose; it certainly required several surgeries on just this one part of the body. It was impossible to get rid of the wide wings of the olfactory organ in one go.
The third rhinoplasty session brought trouble: a fistula formed in the nasal cavity, which caused tissue death, breathing was difficult, and in order to save Rodrigo’s life, the doctors resorted to extreme measures - they removed part of the organ. As a result, ten operations and 30 thousand euros were required.
Swedish Barbie and American Ken
For some time, Justin Jedlica dated 26-year-old model from Stockholm Pixie Fox. The girl is also obsessed with plastic surgery; she has undergone about twenty operations to change her appearance. The fictitious couple met on the set of a TV show and realized they had a lot in common.
Justin and Pixie began to live like real Ken and Barbie dolls. We are not talking about any intimate relationships. As you know, Jedlica is gay, and Fox is too obsessed with her own beauty. They plan plastic surgery at the same time so that the recovery period can be spent together and support each other in every possible way.
Childhood and adolescence
The future victim of plastic surgery was born in one of the Brazilian cities in 1985, and a little later moved to the UK to study at college. Alves grew up as a child like others, he was not particularly different and tried not to stand out. However, he was often criticized by his classmates, largely because of his non-standard nose. According to the man, he was once even dunked in a urinal because he did not meet generally accepted standards of beauty.
Gradually, the guy began to develop complexes. Rodrigo passionately dreamed of being like the heroes of Disney cartoons; he saw real idols and ideals in them. Every year the guy waited for the moment of transformation to come.
First surgery
Justin Jedlica, before and after plastic surgery, had a unique vision of art. Since his school years he was fond of theater, he liked everything unusual and beautiful. The boy loved to draw and play with dolls.
American Ken is now 36 years old. He was born in New York City on August 11, 1980. In 1998, he wanted to have a nose job, which doctors performed quite successfully. Justin spent all his personal savings - $3,500 - on the operation. He was so pleased with the result that the guy wanted to change something else in his appearance, and then another and another. A young man is looking for an ideal man.
“Plastic surgery is a kind of expression of personal extraordinary creativity,” says Justin Jedlica in the press. Before and after surgery, the life of the average American guy is very different. When he became like a living doll, fame came to him. The guy began to be invited to film glossy magazines and TV shows. In the American show This Morning on ITV, Ken compared himself to the artist Picasso. He assured everyone that he was not dependent on operations, but he was not going to stop with the results achieved.
The beginning of Jedlicka's journey
Looking at a photo of Justin Jedlicka in his youth, you will see a rather handsome boy with an open smile and a mop of brown hair. This image did not suit Justin at all. At the age of thirteen, he decided to achieve an ideal appearance for himself. An artist by nature, he hated his facial features, which, in his opinion, were far from ideal. And his own lanky and angular body caused physical disgust in the young man.
Perfect body
To bring his face to perfection, the young man resorted to changing the shape of his lips by inserting five implants into them. And to make the upper lip look more sensual and magnetic, I had it lifted; I also hastened to correct the eyebrows, eyelids and facial contour.
Alves has repeatedly admitted to journalists that he does not like sports and has never been involved in them. He was also able to achieve an athletic figure thanks to plastic surgery: he had breast and buttock implants inserted, and artificial abs were made so that the cubes could not be distinguished from real ones.
The biceps and triceps were also pumped with silicone, after which Alves’ life had to be saved again. As it turned out later, during the procedure an infection was introduced that entered the bloodstream. Severe inflammation spread throughout his body, the young man was on the verge of life and death. And then he remained paralyzed for a long time. But this incident did not stop Rodrigo.
At the beginning of 2021, the freak removed his lower 4 ribs, thanks to which he became the owner of a wasp waist, with a girth of 60 centimeters - to match Barbie herself! Alves became the first man in the world to do this.
What is Jedlica capable of?
Even though Justin has been compared to a toy Ken, he is still not an exact replica of the doll. Jedlica is often asked in interviews about his willingness to get rid of his genitals. According to a plastic surgery enthusiast, he is capable of anything!
When Justin began to modify himself, he did not pursue the goal of becoming like Ken. Most of all, he was inspired to resort to plastic surgery by such famous personalities as Michael Jackson and Joan Rivers. According to the doll man, he did not notice the resemblance to Ken at first. But now the guy is very pleased that he is compared to a beautiful toy.
Justin Jedlica was quite a pretty boy before plastic surgery. But the guy is very pleased with his current appearance. He doesn’t want to stop at the achieved result; in Ken’s opinion, he is still far from complete perfection. Despite the condemnation of society, the doll man spares neither his health nor his finances in order to become the standard of an ideal man.
Transformation into Ken
The necrosis he suffered did not stop Alves, and he continued to torture his body with plastic surgery. After the nose, Rodrigo began removing bald patches. European surgeons refused the non-standard client, but this did not stop the man - he turned to oriental medicine.
Surgeons changed the hairline and added volume to the hair. But Alves hastened to get rid of unwanted hair on his body by undergoing a laser hair removal procedure, which cost him 70 thousand euros.
Personal life
Rodrigo Alves did not give interviews regarding his private life for a long time. Apparently, he simply did not have a passion. In all likelihood, because the young man was too keen on remaking himself and simply did not find time for relationships and dates.
However, something has changed recently: on his personal blog of the popular Instagram network, Alves has repeatedly shared photos with German-born model and TV presenter Sofia Vegas. The girl is also crazy about plastic surgery. For example, I also got rid of several ribs. One can only guess that there is something more between the young people than just friendship - they do not advertise their relationship.
Biography
Jedlica was born on August 11, 1980 in the small town of Poughkeepsie (USA). He graduated from Apex High School, where he discovered his passion for the visual and performing arts.
When he was young, Justin never felt happy. A thin physique, a potato nose, thin lips, large ears - this is what most teenagers look like, who have not yet developed their figure and facial features. But due to his highly developed artistic taste, his appearance seemed to him not ideal enough.
Since no doctor will take responsibility for the life of a patient under 18 years of age, the first changes had to be postponed. But when Justin reached adulthood, he finally fulfilled his first dream.
Jedlicka has a sister, Christina, with whom he often attends parties and social events, and his mother Tanya Marsik supports her son in everything.
