Photos: The human Ken doll
31-year-old Alves's latest cosmetic surgery binge in his mission to resemble a Ken doll cost him over £50,000.
It was a bumper six-in-one op, which included his fourth nose job, a somewhat gruesome procedure to give him a bigger smile, and he even had his ears pinned back.
Air steward, Alves has now had a total of 30 body-changing operations - including liposuction, six-pack implants and botox fillers in his attempt to achieve what he believes to be the perfect body.
Doctors in the UK have refused to perform any more surgery on Alves, meaning he needs to travel to a Columbian clinic each time he wants a procedure done.
Even after having spent around £175,000 on cosmetic surgery, Alves says he is far from finished.
"It’s a long process. It is long-term maintenance. Once you start, it is difficult to stop. Naturally I’m a perfectionist. It’s like a snowball effect and I’m not going to stop. It doesn’t define the man that I am - I’m much more than silicone and cosmetic surgery - but once you get started it’s difficult to stop,"he says.
What are your thoughts on cosmetic surgery? Have you had any done? Can you relate to Alves's addiction?
Do you think Alves looks better or worse than he did before he started?
