Justin Jedlica (born August 11, 1980), known as The Human Ken Doll,[1] is a Slovak American businessperson and model. He is known as the man who came to national attention for undergoing over 100 plastic surgeries.[2] He has often been compared to the Human Barbie, Valeria Lukyanova.
Cosmetic procedures
At the age of seventeen, Jedlica, unhappy with his appearance began to research his first cosmetic procedure, rhinoplasty. Inspired by watching “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” as a teen, Jedlica saw body contouring and cosmetic surgery as emblematic of the wealthy, glamorous lifestyles he sought to emulate. His parents did not approve of cosmetic enhancements and Jedlica was forced to wait until he could legally make the choice for himself. Four days after his eighteenth birthday, Jedlica underwent his first cosmetic procedure, to reconstruct his nose.[3][4]
Over the last decade, Jedlica has undergone approximately 190 cosmetic procedures.[5][6][7] These have included rhinoplasty, chest implants, shoulder implants, bicep implants, triceps implants, brow shaving and lifts, cheek augmentations, subpectoral implants, thigh implants, gluteoplasty, lip augmentations and calf implants.[8]
On October 14, 2016, Justin discussed his latest surgeries on Dr. Zoe Today which helped answered Doctors concerns and media controversy surrounding the number of surgeries.[9][10]
Personal life
Born in Poughkeepsie, New York, to Tanya Marsik, Jedlica is the oldest of four siblings. Raised in Fishkill, New York and North Carolina, he attended Apex High School, where he discovered his passion for visual and performing arts. Jedlica was raised Catholic, and considers himself spiritual. He is of Slovak descent.[11]
Jedlica resides in The Trump Tower in Chicago, Illinois where he lives with his husband.[12]
