Interview with Human Ken Doll and Dr. Obeng after Recent Rib Removal Cosmetic Procedure

Fans of celebrity plastic surgery are likely aware of Rodrigo Alves. They might not know his name but they are aware of his nickname, the “Human Ken Doll”. Alves has spent almost $530,000 on cosmetic surgery that totals dozens of procedures. Some of the past procedures he has undergone include liposuction, a facelift, neck lift and Botox in an effort to improve his appearance through plastic surgery.

Cosmetic Town TV recently had a chance to sit down and chat with Alves as he visited Dr. Michael K Obeng, a plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills.

How did he get his Nickname?

According to Alves, he first got the nickname of the “human Ken doll” about five years ago. The nickname came about thanks to his fashion choices of colorful outfits. Of course, the nickname also came about thanks to his ever changing appearance.

Alves admits to over 60 plastic surgery procedures and he does say that part of the reason he stands out is because he is not the most natural looking person when he is walking down the street. While it should be noted that plastic surgery is very advanced and can deliver natural looking results to patients of all ages, there are some limits to the results and it is hard to remain a natural looking person after 60 procedures!

One of his most Interesting Procedures

One of the most interesting surgeries that he does not discuss in the video is his attempt to gain eyes that are in the shape of a cat. The procedure involved his eyes being pulled and stitched into a feline shape and it is more commonly known as a “cat eye lift”.

At the time, Alves was asked why he wanted his eyes to be more feline in appearance. He said, “After so much Botox since the age of 20, my eyebrows were uneven. The feline looking eyes will make me look a bit sexier. A lot of celebrities have done it and it does look amazing. The procedure was done during a local sedation and I didn’t feel any pain at all. The doctor made an incision on the top of my eyebrows to lift it and on the corner of my eyes and temples he stretched it to give me more of a feline look.”

How does it Feel to have the Nickname?

Nicknames are common in daily life bit not everyone is a fan of the nickname they are awarded by other people. We asked Alves how he felt the first time someone called him the “human Ken doll”. Instead of being upset, he was actually flatted by the comparison. Alves thinks that Ken is a “beautiful dude” and the comparison to Ken was a positive one in his mind.

A Ken doll is something that people play with as a child and Rodrigo struggled with his looks as a child. He decided to change his appearance through cosmetic surgery after not being happy with his appearance when he was younger.

Why so much Plastic Surgery???

One of the reasons Alves has undergone so much plastic surgery is the fact that he had various complications as the other plastic surgery procedures kept growing in number. According to Rodrigo, some of the complications he has faced include breathing problems and lumps that resulted from his surgeries. He had to undergo further surgeries to fix some of the results from the previous procedures.

Overall, he feels that the majority of his surgeries have been successful and produced the desired results.

Rib Removal

The main reason Alves was visiting Dr. Obeng was to have rib removal surgery. Dr. Obeng made an incision and then spread the muscles in order to get down to the bone. The doctor cut the bone in question on Alves and then proceeded to remove the rib.

While it is not one of the more common plastic surgeries performed on a patient, Dr. Obeng is experienced in rib removal and can provide results that are natural in appearance while still giving the patient the desired results. Dr. Obeng cautions patients to be careful when using a celebrity as inspiration for a change because not all body types are the same so they need to make sure their expectations are realistic.
