Spending Rs 3 crore on a makeover may be unthinkable for some, especially when you blow up that kind of money to look like a doll. But for 33-year-old Rodrigo Alves, the super-expensive nip-and-tuck has been life changing.
Bullied till the age of 22 for being “ugly and fat”, he decided to undergo 51 surgeries and 100 cosmetic procedures to alter his body image and cope with depression.
He splurged the money so that he can look like a human Ken (as in Barbie’s boyfriend). Alves, who now works as a TV show host, says he feels much more confident and his will power has also increased. And Guinness World Records has bestowed on him the title of having undergone ‘Most Cosmetic Procedures’.
We have no clue though whether the 51 surgeries have hurt or helped his health.
