‘Human Ken’ Rodrigo Alves is getting his 10th nose job

Despite being warned against having any more rhinoplasty procedures, ‘Human Ken Doll’ Rodrigo Alves, 33, is about to have his 10th nose job at a hospital in Iran.

Rodrigo Alves rose to prominence after featuring on the show Botched on E! He’s spent approximately $597,000 AUD on plastic surgeries in a bid to look like Ken.

He consulted two doctors in a recent episode of Botched, and it was revealed he can’t breathe through his nose after getting three rhinoplasties in just over a year.

Speaking to the MailOnline, Mr Alves said:

“I don’t want to have to have another nose operation, but I have no choice. I wanted to look better, but now I can’t breathe at all. So it is hard to deal with it. It’s going to be very painful and risky.”

Rodrigo once developed a MRSA infection on his nose caused by a staph bacteria.

While he’s in Iran, he’s also having a new chin implant fitted and porcelain veneers.

It comes just months after his 51st procedure, a co2 resurfacing procedure after a face, neck and eye lift that caused his face to start “peeling off in big lumps”

Mr Alves told the MailOnline at the time: “Three days after I had the c02 resurfacing done, my face started peeling off in big lumps and I couldn’t go out into the sunlight, so that was hard.”

“I had to cancel my attendance at Elton John’s post-Oscars charity after party on Sunday due to the very invasive and aggressive work I had done.”

However, it doesn’t seem like the plastic surgery fanatic is going to stop anytime soon.

He said: “I feel good and I’m turning heads. The scars have reduced by 50% so I will get it done again in six months’ time. I feel happy with how it went.”

If you or someone you know is considering plastic surgery, please consult a health professional to discuss your options first.
