It’s not something you hear about every day, but sometimes people decide to get plastic surgery. They might want to alter their nose, enhance their breasts, plump their lips, or just make their face look a bit brighter.
However, Jessica Alves, who used to be called Rodrigo Alves, took it to a whole new level by transforming herself into a real-life Barbie doll.
It’s perfectly fine to feel a bit unsure about how you look. Just keep in mind that you are beautiful and can achieve incredible things, no matter what others might think.

From that day, she goes by Roddy ans use “she” and “her” pronouns.

Jessica got hormone shots that helped her develop curvy hips. She also added blonde hair extensions and fake eyelashes to her look, and now she wears a D-cup bra too. In July, she shared that she would be using the name Jessica.

One great idea for kids is that they shouldn’t have to follow rules made by society. Instead, they should focus on what feels right for them, according to some people.
This was also from where Alve’s obsession with dolls came from, and she would show the world in what way.
“Growing up, I was very feminine and used to play with dolls and wear my mum’s dresses and heels,” she said, adding that she hated her looks during her teenage years.
I enjoy laughing, but it used to make my nose look really big. This bothered me a lot. My family would often ask who I got that ugly feature from. That’s why I wanted to fix it first.
Jessica Alves moved to London to attend the famous London School of Economics. In 2004, she chose to have plastic surgery for the first time. This was the beginning of her obsession with changing her looks, and she just couldn’t
