AFTER spending half of her life undergoing hundreds of plastic surgery procedures, Jessica Alves has declared that she is done with getting any more. "I am done with plastic surgeries now at the age of 40. Enough is enough," Jessica said. The Brazilian native TV personality admitted that the journey of modifying her body hasn't been an easy journey. "It wasn't an easy and beautiful journey like most people think. I just make it look glamorous and fun and nice. But the reality of it is that it is not. I've been through a lot paying to be the woman that I am today." Now in her 40s, Jessica is terrified of aging and losing what she has worked so hard for. "I would like to look like this forever," Jessica added. "And I have found amazing procedures that can stop my natural ageing process without me actually going through the knife." Today she is visiting a clinic in west London for a fibre face lift, a non-invasive treatment that claims to be as effective as a surgical one.

00:00 I am done with plastic surgery, now at the age of 40.
00:05 I have spent half of my life going through plastic surgeries.
00:10 Enough is enough.
00:12 But I am aging.
00:14 I'd like to look like this forever.
00:17 For 21 years, I have been having Botox injections
00:21 and look, no expression at all.
00:25 I'm never gonna have wrinkles.
00:27 Today, I'm gonna be having a 3,000 pounds
00:30 no surgical facelift.
00:34 If one day I give up on having aesthetic procedures,
00:39 it means that I lost my will to live.
00:41 Hello, darling.
00:44 Guess who's back?
00:46 Since the last time that you saw me on "Hooked on the Look,"
00:49 I have been very busy.
00:51 I've been traveling, catching up with friends,
00:54 working as well, and I'm still trying to find love.
00:59 I still haven't found the Prince Charming.
01:02 After spending half of my life going through
01:05 body modifications and plastic surgeries,
01:08 I have decided that I don't need anything else.
01:13 I'm happy with my body shape and my appearance.
01:16 It wasn't an easy and beautiful journey
01:19 like most people think.
01:21 I just make it look glamorous and fun and nice,
01:23 but the reality of it, that it is not.
01:26 I've been through a lot of pain
01:28 to be the woman that I am today.
01:30 Hi, my beautiful.
01:33 (kissing)
01:34 How are you?
01:35 - I'm good, I'm so happy to see you.
01:36 - You look amazing.
01:37 - You look amazing.
01:39 - Cheers.
01:40 - Cheers.
01:41 - I remember we was having dinner
01:44 and she just told me, "I don't feel really well."
01:46 And I was like, "Oh my God, what's going on?
01:48 You just had surgery?"
01:50 I'm like, "Why are you drinking?
01:51 Are you crazy?"
01:52 And then we carry on partying the whole night.
01:54 - Is that just, that's just us?
01:57 - Having tequila shots, this is what we do.
02:00 I've known Jamelyn for about four years.
02:03 When I met Jamelyn, it was just like love at first sight.
02:06 She's really fun to be around with.
02:09 She has a great energy.
02:11 She's also Latina like me.
02:13 And we are pretty much the same age.
02:16 So remember last time when you were together
02:19 at your birthday?
02:20 - Yeah.
02:21 - I was asking for help to give me a hand
02:23 and to go up and go down the stairs.
02:26 It is a real problem
02:27 because my butt implant has been placed
02:30 in a different pocket inside the muscle inside my bum.
02:33 - So that's affected your muscle.
02:35 - After seeing Dr. Ali Gulek in Istanbul,
02:38 I healed really well.
02:40 The procedure was a great success.
02:42 I'm very happy with the shape of my bum now
02:46 and I'm completely healed.
02:48 So I even like exercising.
02:50 There are some exercises that I can't do.
02:52 - You are happy.
02:54 So maybe it's your goal that, you know,
02:55 I think you should be done with surgery now.
02:58 - You're absolutely right.
03:00 I'm the fruit of my imagination.
03:02 I'm everything that I have always wanted to be in my life.
03:06 So now being at the age of 40
03:07 and look at myself in the mirror
03:09 and see the woman that I became,
03:11 it's a real blast.
03:13 Aging, it scares me.
03:16 People actually say that I don't look 40 years old.
03:19 I'm not getting any younger
03:20 and I just want to live my life.
03:22 I want to have fun.
03:23 My life started too late for me.
03:26 For 21 years, I have been having Botox injections
03:31 and look, no expression at all.
03:33 And I have had four facelifts
03:35 and I'm never going to have wrinkles.
03:38 - Do they worry about aging?
03:40 Absolutely. I mean, who doesn't?
03:41 - Every woman does.
03:42 I have had more than 100 plastic surgeries
03:44 only because a good half of it went wrong.
03:47 So I have to keep going back again and again
03:49 and again and again to repair problems that I have had.
03:52 So I talk about this openly to people
03:55 to educate people from my experiences.
03:58 I see some comments on my Instagram saying,
04:00 "How can you possibly say that you love yourself
04:03 if you have had so much work done?"
04:06 I love myself now because I went through all that
04:10 to learn how to love myself.
04:12 I think that a lot of people misunderstand plastic surgery.
04:16 It is there to help people, to modify themselves
04:21 so their appearance can match to their souls,
04:24 so they can live a better life.
04:26 I still get judged all the time by people
04:29 who misunderstand why I have had so many surgeries
04:34 and body modification.
04:35 I was born in the wrong body.
04:38 And now at the age of 40, my body matches my soul.
04:42 I think the most scary bit about aging is losing yourself.
04:45 Like, losing yourself in your appearances.
04:48 You know, we're all going to get old.
04:50 It is what it is.
04:51 Appreciate things around you
04:55 and be happy with what you've got.
04:56 Yes.
04:57 Because, you know, you can't find happiness out of nothing.
05:00 No matter how great you look,
05:01 right now somebody's fighting for their life.
05:04 Right now, so to speak.
05:06 People going through war right now,
05:08 losing their families, their appearance.
05:11 It is their last worry.
05:14 We appreciate that we live in a civilized society.
05:17 100%.
05:18 And that we're not going through that.
05:21 I love you.
05:22 I love you.
05:23 I love you.
05:25 Right, Amiguita, I have an appointment now.
05:28 Today, I'm going to be having a 3,000 pounds
05:31 no surgical facelift.
05:35 Well, it's lovely to see you.
05:37 It's lovely to see you too, my beautiful.
05:39 Take care of you.
05:41 I must spend about 10,000 pounds a month to look this way.
05:45 If one day I give up on having aesthetic procedures,
05:51 it means that I lost my will to live.
05:53 Hi Jessica.
05:57 Hi, Aga.
05:57 How are you?
05:58 How are you?
05:58 Come on in.
05:59 Oh, very welcome.
05:59 Thank you.
06:00 Come on in.
06:00 Thank you.
06:01 How is your skin?
06:02 My skin improved a lot from the first treatment.
06:06 I had it once before, and then I loved it.
06:09 But I need more.
06:11 I need one more session to achieve the maximum result.
06:16 It's definitely a very big improvement.
06:20 Yes.
06:21 It's a lot of improvement.
06:22 So before, you were able to pinch my skin a lot.
06:25 I could pull it.
06:26 I could pull it away completely.
06:27 Yeah.
06:28 Now I feel my skin much tighter.
06:31 It is much tighter.
06:31 And the treatment is definitely working.
06:35 OK, wonderful.
06:36 Well, I'm ready when you are.
06:37 OK.
06:38 So I'm going to attach the fiber.
06:40 It's an optic fiber to the laser, and it's going under your skin.
06:44 Sounds wonderful.
06:45 Let's get started.
06:46 OK.
06:47 OK, we can start the anesthesia.
06:53 Ah.
06:57 Oh, here we go.
06:59 OK.
06:59 [INAUDIBLE]
07:00 OK, we're going to start the procedure.
07:02 [MUSIC PLAYING]
07:05 So, Olga, now the procedure started,
07:13 and the fiber is inside my skin.
07:15 It's inside your skin now, and we are working
07:18 on contraction of the skin.
07:19 Right.
07:20 So I'm working on your jawline at the moment.
07:22 Oh, wonderful.
07:23 I will be checking the tightness of the skin,
07:26 and then we will decide whether we need a little bit more.
07:31 Well, the treatment went really well,
07:35 and it was totally painless, just a little bit discomfort.
07:40 It is much better than having to go through surgery.
07:45 There is no down time.
07:47 I'm basically-- I'm going to go home right now,
07:49 getting all glammed up, and meeting my friends for dinner
07:53 tonight.
07:54 I'm really happy.
07:56 My hopes and dreams for next year is to be happy.
08:02 I want to find love and to be loved.
08:05 I would like to continue inspiring people
08:07 around the world.
08:09 Everything in this life is possible with willpower
08:12 and determination.
08:14 I'm the real proof.
