Meet the surgery addicts who want to be DOLLS… and have together spent MILLIONS on ops to achieve their plastic fantastic dream
These people seem determined to transform their bodies into the 'perfect shape', regardless of the impact on their health
MANY of us will admit to feeling unhappy with certain parts of our body and some may even chose to go under the knife to correct what we deem to be imperfections.
But for these larger than life characters, the desire to transform their bodies is inspired by one thing - the desire to look like a DOLL.
Between them they have forked out a fortune to achieve their plastic fantastic dream.
Meet the cosmetic surgery addicts who have taken the idea of body transformation to a whole new level.
Rodrigo Alves
Known as the Human Ken Doll, Rodrigo has spent £305,000 on 42 operations in 15 years in a quest to achieve the “perfect body”.
Over the past 12 months he has had 20 procedures, costing him £95,000, which included hair transplants, liposuction in his jaw, a chin implant, a butt lift and abs replacement.
Rodrigo, originally from Sao Paulo, Brazil, recently hit the headlines when his nose started rotting after a nasty flesh-eating bug attacked it following his latest cosmetic procedure - a sixth nose job.
Thankfully doctors were able to save the 32-year-old's sculpted conk, and he posted a message of thanks to his fans for their well-wishes on his Instagram page.
But he provoked outrage when it emerged he would be getting a £50,000 nose job on the NHS after his septum collapsed due to the infection.
Defending his plastic surgery, Rodrigo argued: "I was born in the wrong body and I’m just trying to make it right."
Justin Jedlica
Justin has sworn he won't stop having surgery until he is '100 per cent plastic'.
To date he's had 191 operations, including five nose jobs, shoulder implants and a chin augmentation, which in total have set him back £150,000.
Last year he had four implants, all designed by him, placed inside his back in an attempt to 'give the illusion of wings'.
Following his recent divorce, the 35-year-old recently signed up to hit Bravo show Millionaire Matchmaker, where he hopes host Patti Stanger will help him find love again.

Robert Paulat
Robert has had 43 plastic surgery operations and credits his modelling success to his resemblance to Ken.
It didn't come naturally to him however - the 35-year-old from the Czech Republic has had Botox, plasma treatments and operations to change his nose and mouth.
Robert reckons it's his bizarre likeness to a plastic doll that often nabs him work.
He explained: "I am told by my clients that a lot of people see similarities between me and Barbie's partner Ken, which seems to be appealing."
Nannette Hammond
This Barbie wannabe has splurged £350,000 on looking like her idol and gets her kids to take sexy snaps of her which she posts online.
Nannette, 42, has gone under the knife for three boob jobs, a breast lift, lip-fillers, Botox, semi-permanent make-up, veneers, nail extensions, hair dye and daily visits to her home-based tanning salon.
As if that wasn't enough, the full-time mum-of-five even has a pink Barbie car which set her back a whopping £175,000.
Nannette, who had more than 50 Barbie dolls as a kid, said: "I just love plastic surgery. The needle feels like a massage and once it goes in, I don't want to leave! It's very relaxing."
Pixee Fox
Jessica Rabbit fan Pixee, 25, has sunk around $121,000 (£89,900) into costly surgical procedures to look like her idol — including the removal of six ribs.
To date, the former electrician from Sweden has gone under the knife 15 times on risky ops that include four breast augmentations, four nose jobs, liposuction and a Brazilian butt lift.
Her rib removal procedure — known as a bilateral rib resection and typically reserved to treat serious medical conditions — took over five hours to perform.
Cassandra Cass
Another Jessica Rabbit fan is transgender Cassandra, who has forked out around $200,000 (£149,250) on plastic surgery to look like her hero.
The 37-year-old has gone under the knife for facial feminisation, brow shaving, Adam's apple reductions and sexual reassignment.
She's also had work done on her nose, lips, cheeks, breasts, hips and bum, but she doesn't intend to stop there.
Cassandra revealed on the show she wants to have her ribs removed to make her waist as tiny as Jessica's.
She told E! show Botched: "I'm a cosmetic concoction.
"I would say the only thing I haven't had done is my heart."
Penny Brown
Also inspired by the voluptuous cartoon character is Penny.
The 25-year-old, obsessed by Jessica Rabbit from a young age, has sculpted her bust to twice the size of her waist over the past two years, with two boob jobs taking her from an H to an O cup.
The military wife has also shrunk her waist from 38 inches to a tiny 23 inches by squeezing herself into rib-crushing corsets for up to 23 hours a day.
Penny has admitted to being concerned about the fact the practice has been proved to rearrange organs, but she has no plans to stop and is planning her third boob job.
Valeria Lukyanova
Despite claiming she hasn't had any plastic surgery, Valeria spends an hour and a half on her makeup and hair every day to maintain her current doll-like look.
She also didn't rule out the possibility of having work done in the future, telling : "In the future, if I require it for my body, then of course. I am not against surgery, but for now, there is nothing I need to do."
Dinara
According to local media there, Kazakhstan has Barbie's best mate Teresa Rivera in the form of Dinara.
Images of the 21-year-old went viral earlier this year, leading to much speculation that she has also had cosmetic surgery to make her look like a living doll.
Though both Valeria and Dinara have dismissed accusations that they have had ribs removed to give them their ultra-thin waists.
