Rodrigo Alves is known as "the human Ken doll" because of his surreal, plastic-like resemblance to Barbie's beau. But he's now in danger of losing his carefully crafted nose after dozens of surgeries left him with infections and scar tissue so extensive he can barely breathe.
Alves' 72 procedures have cost more than $750,000, and doctors have warned him that his surgical obsession may also cost him his health if he doesn't stop undergoing additional cosmetic procedures, he told the Daily Mail .
Alves said that as a result of tissue damage from multiple rhinoplasties, his nose is "sinking" and may collapse, leaving a hole in his face.
"I am scared, to be honest," he told the Daily Mail, adding that "each time is riskier than the last."
He explained that additional procedures were required to fix complications of previous botched surgeries.
"It used to be a want," he said of his procedures. "Now it is a need."
Cosmetic surgery, a specialization of plastic surgery, can have benefits for many people, including boosting self-esteem , said Dr. Alan Matarasso, a former president of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. About 23 million cosmetic surgeries are done every year worldwide, and they're generally considered safe.
But like all surgeries, the procedures have risks including scarring, nerve damage, infection, and complications from surgical anesthesia. And having multiple procedures can compound the risk — one doctor told Alves on the show "Botched" in 2017 that having three surgeries in one year had "destroyed your tissue," adding that "the skin is no good."
"Ideally, you want to do the least amount of surgery that will make a patient happy," Matarasso told Insider. "Plastic surgery is safe. It's effective. It's ubiquitous. But it's not a haircut. All of these procedures have risks."
Many people have unrealistic expectations for cosmetic surgery, Dr. Dirk Kramer, a plastic surgeon in London, previously told Insider . But some can develop a psychological obsession with repeatedly getting surgical procedures, often for aesthetic reasons. This is rare, Matarasso said.
For some, the first surgery can open a "Pandora's box" of seeking additional procedures because they're never fully happy with the results, Kramer said.
That's why it's important to address an underlying issue of low self-esteem before considering cosmetic surgery, said Charlotte Markey , a psychologist.
"Self-acceptance is not just about how we look," Markey previously told Insider . "Data suggests that cosmetic procedures don't have a lasting effect on people's positive body images nor their general well-being."
If you have symptoms of body-dysmorphic disorder , a persistent feeling that one's appearance is flawed, you may be at a higher risk of surgical addiction, Matarasso said, adding that he works with psychiatrists to refer his patients to in some cases.
"Good plastic surgeons are psychiatrists with scalpels," he said.
Indicators that you should see a psychiatrist can include developing a strong, obsessive concern about a minor perceived flaw, having a history of other psychiatric issues, getting multiple procedures in a short period, and "doctor-shopping," or jumping from surgeon to surgeon for different procedures.
"The thing about plastic surgery is, as physicians, we shouldn't be operating on people unless they have realistic expectations coming in and a healthy and positive self-image," Dr. David Cangello , a plastic surgeon in New York City, told Insider.
Surgeons told Insider that if you're considering a procedure, start by finding a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery or the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and avoid people who won't list their specific certification or have another specialty.
Word of mouth is also a good way to find a good doctor, Matarasso added. He suggested asking a plastic surgeon in another city where they would go for a cosmetic procedure.
The internet, by contrast, isn't so reliable, since "everybody says they're board-certified in something," whether or not that's true or their certification qualifies them for the procedure you want, Cangello said.
At an initial consultation, a good surgeon should listen closely to why you want the procedure and what you're expecting from the results to help you decide what, if anything, best fits your unique needs, Matarasso said.
"If you're ethically doing your job well as a plastic surgeon, you're saying no to a number of patients when the risk isn't worth the outcome," Matarasso said. "The way I learned it is: I make my living on the people I operate on, and my reputation on the people I don't."
Ultimately, Matarasso said, the decision to undergo cosmetic surgery should not be taken lightly.
"Yes, plastic surgery can have emotional benefits or even physical benefits," he said. "But because it's an elective, unnecessary surgery, there are risks, and patients should be very rigorous about doing their homework."

A KEN doll look-a-like who splashed £10,000 on plastic surgery had his 'perfect face' ruined just days before he was due to star on a TV show.
Jimmy Featherstone, who admitted to idolising the plastic doll, was left with a broken nose and gashes to his face after he was attacked.
The 22-year-old says he was jumped by two men who kicked and hurled homophobic abuse at him in a bar in Hull.
Devastated by the attack, the plastic surgery fan said his assailants wanted to "f*** up my perfect face" before he was set to appear on new show Hooked on the Look.
Humberside Police confirmed the incident happened between 9pm and 10pm at a Silver Street bar over the bank holiday weekend on May 30.
He was rushed to Hull Royal Infirmary after his breathing was impaired and he is awaiting brain scans following the incident.
Jimmy, a boutique director, has spent £10,000 a year on surgery and enjoys a luxury life, resulting in him becoming a local celebrity throughout the city.
Jimmy told HullLive : "I didn't sign up to be on TV to be assaulted or have such violence brought towards me.
"They told me they wanted to f*** up my face for the TV show I'm going on to film from next week.
"They kept calling me gay before coming over to break my nose into pieces."
They told me they wanted to f*** up my face for the TV show I'm going on to film from next week.
"I'm absolutely devastated and believe people should not have to face this by trolls.
"I'm still in pain with breathing, and just waiting for my results to come back.
He continued: "It's not the bar that's the problem, the staff and security, they are not at fault.
"It's the judgemental world we live in today. I for one am lost for words as to why I was the target."
But luckily for the 'human Ken Doll', he will continue to film for the show next week.
He revealed he has his hair done every week and a filler appointment can cost up to £300 every time.
He takes helicopter rides to concerts and limos to parties and is on the search for an older man.
His 22nd birthday celebrations cost around £2,000 which was described as "classy yet fabulous", which involved a three-tier cake and bouquets of flowers containing £20 notes.
"I'm honoured and privileged to be working with a great casting company and life goes on."
Social media followers have sent their heartfelt condolences to Jimmy, who is currently bed bound.
One follower said: "Take some time now for yourself buddy to recover and heal. Have some time away from social will do you a world of good."
Another person added: "Absolutely awful. Jealously is a terrible thing, I despise people like these animals. Get well soon."
A third said: "This is dreadful. How dare they touch that beautiful face!"

A man known as “Human Ken Doll,” who has spent nearly $750,000 on surgery over the years to transform into a real-life Barbie, says his nose is “sinking” after almost a dozen nose jobs that led to life-threatening infections.
Rodrigo Alves says he is “scared” his shnoz will permanently collapse, so he’s planning to go under the knife yet again against doctors’ warnings, reports The Daily Mail .
Despite having spent close to $775,000 on 72 operations, including a rib removal for a slimmer waist , the 36-year-old says he’s terrified to undergo the risky surgery.
“I am scared, to be honest,” he says. “Each time is riskier than the last and I’m worried that doctors aren’t going to be able to fix my nose permanently.”
Alves says he had his 11th rhinoplasty in January to fix previous botched jobs and to resolve breathing issues. Now, his nose is collapsing again and doctors have warned the Brazil native that he “could be left with a hole in his face” if he has any more cosmetic surgery on his nose.
In 2016, Alves was rushed to the hospital after a hole appeared in his nose. He later said he was treated for life-threatening necrosis because an infection was “eating away” at his nose. The former flight attendant was later warned that his nose could turn black and drop off if he has any more operations.
Alves, who was seen on Italian show “Domenica Live” with the collapsed nose, also revealed he had a gastric balloon inserted into his stomach over the weekend to help lose weight.
“I have also gained 20 kilos [44 pounds] in the past few months due to the distress of not being able to breathe,” he says.
Now, Alves says he is only looking to have non-surgical procedures too “maintain [his] looks” since doctors have urged him to stop.
“I only had 72 surgeries because I had a lot of complications and things had to be repaired in the start,” he says. “It used to be a want, now it is a need.”

Here's why it's not a good idea to have 43 plastic surgery procedures.

Women aren’t the only ones to get addicted to plastic surgery and end up looking like they aren’t human. Men can fall victim to too many procedures, too. And sometimes, there are serious risks and side effects involved with leading a life that boarders on being too plastic.
Rodrigo Alves is a 32-year-old Brazilian man that is known on social media as the human Ken Doll. Thanks to at least 42 procedures, he’s been able to transform himself into a real-life walking doll. But last week, human Ken wasn’t so lucky as he suffered from a hole in his nostril that he said was eating his nose. In fact, Alves was told that if the infection wasn’t under control, it could potentially eat away at his face.
Luckily, Alves, who has not been diagnosed with body dysmorphic disorder, was treated with IV antibiotics, which got the infection under control. But the damage (specifically rotted tissue) caused by the necrosis is said to be permanent. Reconstructive surgery may be the only way to potentially lessen the effects of the damage.
Yesterday, he posted on his Instagram this photo with a caption reading, “#botched but soon to be fixed. For the 44 th time it isn’t the end of the world.”
