Rodrigo Alves used to be Jessica Alves, and she has taken the idea of change to a whole new level. After more than 100 surgeries, Jessica has changed into a human Barbie doll, letting go of her old self and accepting a new one.
Jessica was born on July 30, 1983, in Sao Paolo, Brazil. She has always been interested in toys and girly clothes. The dolls her grandpa gave her started an obsession that would become her life’s work. As a child, Jessica often felt like she didn’t fit in with other people, so she wore her mom’s clothes and shoes.
Jessica had her first plastic surgery in 2004. This was the start of a 20-year journey to change herself. Jessica has had everything from nose jobs and Botox to pec implants and calf shaping in her never-ending quest for beauty. She has had over $500,000. Some of her surgeries were so dangerous that they could have killed her.
Jessica had necrosis in 2016 and had to go to the hospital because her skin started to die. Her nose started to fall apart, and it became hard for her to breathe. Doctors said the infection could spread and lead to gangrene.
Even though it was dangerous, Jessica kept trying to get the perfect body. In 2019, after her 11th rhinoplasty, her nose started to sink, which meant she needed more surgery. She made a big change when she decided to shift from male to female in 2020.
Jessica went through hormone shots, breast enlargement, and surgery to make her face look more feminine. She has had several nose jobs in different countries, such as Brazil, Colombia, and Iran. She recently had cartilage from her ear moved to her nose to make it easier for her to breathe.
Jessica’s journey has made her famous around the world, which has led to both praise and criticism. On her Instagram page, you can see how she has changed, showing that she is now happy in her own skin.
Jessica recently admitted in an interview that she needs a few more surgeries to finish her change. Jessica enjoyed being a woman more now that she understood how great it was to be one. She enjoyed going to the spa, shopping, and wearing lingerie.

Jessica’s journey goes on, but one thing is for sure: she is happy with the new version of herself. “I love it and everything that comes with it… I have to go through all that” to become the person she was meant to be.
