THE man dubbed the “Human Ken Doll” has gone under the knife to have his 59th surgery. This time he’s trying to turn himself into Barbie.A MAN known as the ‘Human Ken Doll’ has spent $25,000 on surgery to feminise his hairline so he can live as a Barbie.
Rodrigo Alves, 34, flew to Beverly Hills Hair Restoration clinic in Los Angeles last week to begin his 59th surgery, which will gradually allow him to “live as a woman”.
This is the TV star’s 59th surgery. He has spent more than half a million dollars on procedures including nose jobs, silicone chest implants, eight pack abs and more.The 34-year-old, who lives in London, said he would rather slowly modify his appearance than do “everything at once like Caitlyn Jenner”.
“I have hair loss from all the medication and surgeries I have had, also I’m 34-years-old so not young anymore, also as a man we start producing hormones that trigger hair loss,” he said.
“I will be having 3000 single hairs implanted over six hours follicle-by-follicle from the sides of my head into my hairline and then stem cells injected too.“After six months the results should be drastic, it will help to bring my hairline lower and make it fuller.
“I am happy looking how I am for the moment but I don’t want to age looking as a plastic modified man, I want the best of both worlds.”
Dubbed the “Human Ken Doll”, Mr Alves is set to appear in the Plastics of Hollywood, a show following real life cartoons, dolls and surgery addicts as they work for a talent agency.
Dr John Kahen, of Beverly Hills Hair Restoration, said he would be “replacing the hair he has lost, moving follicles form the back of the scalp to the thinning areas”.“I have developed this specific procedure SMARTPRP — where I used over seven billion platelets and stem cells, which is unmatched by any other technology,” he said.
“It’s tailored to people’s hairline specifically, every(one) has a different facial symmetry and degree of baldness.”
