Human Ken Doll Rodrigo Alves' chilling warning to The Voice star Jack Vidgen: 'Don't make too many changes to your face... I almost DIED from botched surgery'
Former Australia's Got Talent winner Jack Vidgen has been warned to stop having cosmetic procedures before it's too late.
Rodrigo Alves, better known as The Human Ken Doll, issued the chilling caution to Jack, 22, during an exclusive interview with Daily Mail Australia on Monday.
'I don't encourage him to have any sort of injectables done,' said Rodrigo, 35, whose love of surgery almost killed him after he contracted a deadly infection in 2014.

Rodrigo, who underwent his first enhancement aged 17 and has since spent over $900,000 on 550 procedures, recognises much of himself in Jack.
'Jack is talented and naturally good looking. My advice to him is to not get anything else injected because it will not enhance his natural features,' he said.
'It'll make his face puffy and have that "pillow effect", speaking from my own experience. My advice to him is that he should concentrate on his music career and be happy.'
Some of the procedures Rodrigo has undergone include: 11 nose jobs, a rib removal, pectoral implants, six-pack implants and a hair transplant, in addition to facial fillers.

When asked why Jack had turned to cosmetic procedures at such a young age, Rodrigo said: 'The pressure from fame and social media may influence people to change their appearance sometimes.'
Rodrigo warned that Jack may end up affecting his career in music if he continues down this path.
'He is a singer and should be known for his talents and not deviate the attention from this to his appearance,' he said.
'It may change the dynamics of what he is trying to do - which is to sing.'

However, if Jack is determined to enhance his appearance further, Rodrigo said he should visit 'one of [his] favourite surgeons in London or Milan'.
Rodrigo went on to offer his young protégé some 'professional guidance', should he decide to explore the 'Ken Doll aesthetic'.
But he also made sure to remind Jack that it isn't too late for him stop now and embrace a more natural look, saying: 'Lip fillers aren't plastic surgery, they're reversible and only last for about 10 months.'

Rodrigo's chilling warning comes after Jack said last week that having lip fillers is just like wearing makeup or getting a tattoo.
He added that artificially plump lips are actually 'normal' for people his age.
'I want people to know that it's my body, it's my face and I'm really happy and that should always be the main thing,' Jack told Woman's Day on Monday.
'I've definitely experimented. It's obvious I've had [lip] filler - I've never denied that - [but] I've never had plastic surgery.'

Jack, who won Australia's Got Talent in 2011 aged 14, added that 'natural changes' due to puberty are partly responsible for his facial transformation.
He continued: 'I was prepubescent [on Australia's Got Talent] and now I'm 22, so obviously there are some natural changes.'
