Human Ken Doll Rodrigo Alves says NO more surgeries as he wows fans with 20 inch waste in Times Square
Rodrigo, 34, says the crowds were overwhelmed by the results of his controversial surgery
HUMAN Ken Doll Rodrigo Alves says he's done with plastic surgery as he shows off the striking results of his latest and most controversial surgery in New York.
Shocked tourists and one very starstruck local swarmed around Rodrigo whose waste-line is down to an astonishing 20 inches after he underwent surgery to have four ribs removed.
But that could be it for Rodrigo, who told Sun Online: "Plastic surgery-wise, I would say that I'm done.
"I'm officially made but if anything falls apart - like if my face goes wonky - then I'll have to get more work done."
"I now want to focus on building my brand with my style, fashion, personality and lifestyle - that's what I want to known for.
"I was at the Golden Globes in LA last week and I met a lot of people who would be interested in my work as an actor too."
The 34-year-old TV personality, who has starred in 60 TV shows in 18 countries, was in Times Square filming a TV documentary on his fantastic life and many procedures.
"I can see the result without the corset but when I have it on, that's when people can see the dramatic results," Rodrigo, who is recovering well, told Sun Online.
"On a good day, it goes down to 20 inches... And by a good day, I mean when I don't eat anything for a day."
He said one woman walking down New York's most iconic crossing was so overwhelmed she began crying.
He said: "She told me our lives were very similar, that she too had been bullied and also had some surgery done.
"She couldn't get much because she couldn't afford it but she looked at me as an inspiration and it was really great to see."
Rodrigo, who has also starred in four reality shows and three documentaries and always makes time to meet his fans, did admit there were times that it got a little "too much".
Earlier this week, appeared on today’s This Morning a rather macabre object: A jar containing his removed ribs.
Presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield were gobsmacked and quizzed him about why he decided to undergo the surgery.
The TC star, who admitted he originally wanted six ribs removed but no surgeon would do it for him, explained: "I had four ribs removed so I can do my blazers up without having to breathe in or have them altered.”
Rodrigo, who has 36 inch shoulders, now has a 20 inch waist and is currently wearing a corset to protect his spine as he continues to recover from the surgery.
Holly seemed concerned about the dangers of the procedure, leaving Rodrigo to concede it could potentially cause issues.
He said: “It is dangerous to internal organs. My ribs that were the 11th and 12th, they are the floating ribs there are not much use for them.”
He added: "I am the only man to have the procedure done. A few women have but they don’t talk about it."
Rodrigo went on to admit that he might have made mistakes in the past and could have only needed 10, rather than 60 surgeries, if he had picked the right people for the job.
But he now says he is very happy with his appearance and is unlikely to do anything else to alter it.
"Well I am 34 years old, it has been a very long journey for me,” he said. “I love the way I look. I love to stand out.
"Yes there is contentment in my soul. Plastic surgery has changed my life. From water to wine."
Those watching at home were horrified by the ribs and took to Twitter to comment on the shocking moment.
One person remarked: “Well.. there goes my appetite for spare ribs 😂🙈 #thismorning #humankendoll."
While another wrote: "Oh my gosh... why would you have four ribs removed to look like a human Ken doll? That is so scary, I feel that #RodrigoAlves is lucky to be alive!"
And someone else tweeted: "ThisMorning having the human ken doll on TV before the watershed is bang out of order! My 2 young kids s**t themselves when he came on the screen 😂😂 @thismorning."
