'Human Ken Doll' Suffers Necrosis After Multiple Plastic Surgeries

A mentally ill Brazilian man who has dedicated his life to trying to look like a Ken doll with plastic surgeries was reportedly admitted to the hospital after his nose began rotting.

9news.com.au reported that Rodrigo Alves, 32, has body dysmorphic disorder, or dysmorphophobia, a chronic mental illness marked by an obsession over physical appearance and body image. According to the Mayo Clinic, people with the condition commonly undergo multiple plastic surgeries to try to “fix” their perceived flaws, but they are never satisfied.

Alves, a flight attendant, has undergone 42 cosmetic operations over the last decade or so. Those surgeries have cost him about $400,000, 9news.com.au reported.

A nose operation he got three months ago may have been the cause of his rotting nose, the news website reported. The London resident noticed something was wrong when a hole appeared above the left ala of his nose. Doctors then diagnosed him with necrosis, or death of body tissue. The condition occurs due to a lack of blood flow to the tissue— either resulting from injury, or exposure to radiation or chemicals— and necrosis cannot be reversed, according to the National Institutes of Health.

Doctors are concerned Alves’ necrosis may spread or become gangrenous, which could happen if large areas of tissue die after being deprived of blood supply. He is being treated in Spain.

"It is very frightening,” Alves said, according to 9news.com.au. “I’ve been warned if it is not stopped, it could eat into my face.”

Make America Great Again. Should not be a slogan

It should be a law

There's a culture of men who dress in rubber body suits like female dolls too

Nothing like 3rd world surgeries to get that fine excellent look. But wait, BarryCare will eventually get us the same result in due time. Now I get that Insurance doesn't cover plastic surgery BUT you get my point about quality healthcare going right down the tubes.

It took real dedication to have his genitals removed.

I've heard that having sex in Harpos' bathrooms can lead to this.

The one thing easiest to control, and the cheapest (blonde hair), is of no concern to this jackass?

Odds are he's gay.
But of course he'll be considered one of the few weird gays

Bet he doesn't have smelly pits though!

[New World Order]

He kind of looks like Peter Popoff

Saw him on Botched (i think but I don't remember what show), he's gay....

That's weird. Necrosis doesn't seem nice.

[Why Not?]

Poor chap. All that and he doesn't look like a Ken doll at all
