The 31-year-old flight attendant lives in London and reportedly underwent a six-in-one operation in Columbia last week, which included an eye augmentation and a procedure to cut his mouth to make his smile appear bigger.
"It’s a long process. It is long-term maintenance. Once you start, it is difficult to stop. Naturally, I'm a perfectionist. It’s like a snowball effect and I’m not going to stop. It doesn’t define the man that I am - I’m much more than silicone and cosmetic surgery - but once you get started it’s difficult to stop," he said.
"[it] can become addictive, and it doesn't always turn out the way we imagine," he said, adding that he doesn't have any regrets about the choices he has made to alter his physical appearance.
"I'm pretty aware that I'm far from perfection," Alves said. "I'm not deluded, and I know that I'm not the most good-looking guy. I'm just aiming to be the best that I can possibly be. I really believe that everything that I've done to myself is an investment ... It is who I am," he assured.

Alves has said that he does not mind the "Ken Doll" title, which he has been given by his friends and the press and said that it didn't bother him at all.
"I never set out to look like the #kendoll it was a nick name given by my friends and the press which doesn't bother me at all. I just wanted to be a better person and I truly am #happy," he wrote on his Instagram post.
