Some people didn’t just cosplay their favorite Disney princess — they had surgeons rebuild their bones to get there.

Every year, a handful of viral profiles resurface the same strange subculture: men and women who’ve spent small fortunes trying to physically become fictional characters. TheThings Celebrity’s May 2016 rundown, “10 Amazing People Who Look Like Disney Princesses And Other Fictional Characters,” lays out just how far that obsession goes — from $160,000 surgical transformations into living Ken dolls to $14,000 custom gowns built to mimic an animated waistline. It’s less a beauty story than a spending story, and the numbers are the point.

• Justin Jedlica, the so-called “Human Ken Doll,” began his transformation four days after turning eighteen with a $3,500 rhinoplasty and has since logged somewhere between 140 and 190 procedures totaling well over $160,000.
• Brazilian-born Rodrigo Alves underwent dozens of surgeries — multiple nose jobs, liposuction, silicone implants — chasing the same stylized Ken proportions as Jedlica.
• Cosplayers pursuing the Disney princess look have spent upwards of $14,000 on custom gowns, contact lenses, and waist-training to fake the doe-eyed, impossibly narrow-waisted animated aesthetic without going under the knife.

The Human Ken Doll’s Surgical Résumé

Jedlica’s story is the one that made him a fixture on ABC’s 20/20 and TLC’s My Strange Addiction. He didn’t ease into it — his first procedure, a $3,500 nose job, came just four days after he legally became an adult, and he never stopped adding to the list. Custom pectoral implants, bicep implants, and buttock implants followed, each one shaped to hit the exaggerated, sculpted lines of the actual toy rather than anything a surgeon would typically recommend for a human body.

Four days after turning eighteen, Justin Jedlica walked out of a $3,500 rhinoplasty and, by the time anyone was counting, had racked up somewhere between 140 and 190 procedures.

That tally puts his total spend well past $160,000 — and unlike a typical patient chasing a single fix, Jedlica’s surgeries build on each other, custom implants layered over custom implants to keep the proportions consistent as trends and his own goals shift.

Rodrigo Alves and the Living Barbie Circuit

Alves has run a parallel playbook to Jedlica’s, undergoing dozens of his own surgeries — multiple rhinoplasties, liposuction rounds, and silicone implants — all aimed at the same broad-shouldered, chiseled Ken silhouette. The two aren’t operating in a vacuum; there’s an actual global subculture of real-life Ken and Barbie figures, and on the Barbie side of it, Valeria Lukyanova has built a following as one of the most recognized “living dolls,” known for the tiny waist, oversized eyes, and platinum hair that mirror the doll’s design rather than any real woman’s proportions. For a broader sense of how often the internet fixates on people who resemble someone — or something — else, it’s a theme that shows up constantly in round-ups of celebrity doppelgängers who look freakishly alike, just taken to a surgical extreme here.

Chasing Anime and Princess Looks Without the Scalpel — Or With Plenty of It

Not everyone in the video goes the implant route. One woman profiled spent $120,000 and had six ribs removed chasing a Tinkerbell look, only to land somewhere closer to Jessica Rabbit once the transformation was finished. Jacqueline Koh took a similarly aggressive approach toward an anime aesthetic, spending $136,000 on procedures including eyelid adjustments and ear flattening. Anastasiya Shpagina has leaned more on cosmetic work paired with heavy, precise makeup to hit the same wide-eyed anime look — and by her own account, she’s still not finished.

Then there’s the non-surgical crowd: cosplayers who’d rather spend on craftsmanship than a surgeon’s fee. Custom Disney princess gowns built for convention-level accuracy can run upwards of $14,000 once contact lenses and waist-training are factored in — enough to occasionally out-price an off-the-rack designer wedding dress, though nowhere close to the six-figure surgical route Jedlica and Koh took.

What separates the two camps in the video is permanence. A $14,000 gown comes off at the end of a convention; a $160,000 buttock implant doesn’t. Jedlica’s still adding to his count, and by his own numbers, there’s no ceiling in sight.
