Rodrigo Alves, 32, has undergone 42 operations to look like a Ken doll (Barbie’s beau), and is now reportedly being treated for a potentially life-threatening condition after his body rejected his new nose.
32岁的Rodrigo Alves为了拥有芭比男友Ken的外貌做了42次整形手术。最近，他却因为身体对新鼻子产生排斥反应而罹患重病。
London-based Alves is currently in a hospital in Spain with necrosis — a condition in which the flesh begins to die after being rejected by the body — following a nose reconstruction, according to the Daily Mail.
《每日邮报》报道称，来自伦敦的Alves如今正在西班牙的医院里忍受着细胞坏死的折磨，而原因是鼻子重塑手术后，肉体组织遭到身体排斥。
He told the publication, from the hospital, “I had nose reconstruction three months ago and it appears the new cartilage has been rejected by my body.”
他在医院接受采访说：“三个月前，我接受了鼻子重塑手术，而如今我的身体似乎对新的软骨产生了排斥反应。”
“A horrible hole has appeared in my nostril, and the infection is eating my nose and I’ve been warned if it is not stopped, it could eat into my face,” Alves explained.
Alves解释道：“我的鼻孔里出现了一个可怕的洞，而感染正在导致鼻子腐烂。医生还警告我说，如果感染没有被中止，那么我的脸也会遭殃。”
According to the National Institutes of Health, necrosis is the death of body tissue, which occurs when too little blood flows to the tissue. It is a condition that cannot be reversed.
国家卫生研究院表明，坏死是身体组织死亡的征兆，是由于过少血液流经组织而引起的。这种病症并不能得到修复。
Alves shared a before-and-after photo on his Instagram two weeks ago, apparently still feeling positive about his surgeries, with the caption, “42 plastic surgeries, 305K English pounds very well spent!“
两周前，Alves在INS上分享了一张手术前后对比照，还附言说：“42次整形手术，花了30.5万英镑真是超值！”
The Anxiety and Depression Association of America notes that people who have body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) think about their real or perceived flaws for hours each day.
美国抑郁焦虑协会表示，躯体变形障碍患者每天都会花数小时时间来思量他们的身体缺陷。
People with BDD can’t control negative thoughts about their looks and don’t believe people who tell them that they look fine. They may even undergo unnecessary plastic surgeries to correct perceived imperfections, but never find satisfaction with the results.
此类患者无法控制自己不去想外表的缺陷，并不相信人们对他们的称赞。他们甚至还会接受不必要的整形手术来矫正想象中的不完美。但是，他们对手术结果永远不会感到满意。
We sincerely hope Alves gets better, and that if and when he does, he and the woman trying to look like Barbie can connect and start a support group.
我们真诚地祝愿他早日康复，并且希望他能够和那位整容成芭比的小姐早日接触，并组成一支拉拉队。
