Justin Jedlica (born August 11, 1980), also known as the "Human Ken", is an American man who has garnered international attention for undergoing many cosmetic procedures. He spent over 1 million dollars on surgery. [1]
Cosmetic procedures
At the age of seventeen, Jedlica 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.[2][1]
He has appeared in the 1st, 6th, and 7th seasons of Botched. He has also appeared in the 2022 reality series Men of West Hollywood.[6][7] Most recently, he has appeared in the third episode of Doctor Odyssey, "Plastic Surgery Week".[8]
Jedlica is gay and wed his partner, a successful businessman, in a civil ceremony in July 2014 after five years of dating; the couple relocated for business purposes[12] to Chicago and resided in Trump Tower.[13][14][12] In 2016 they divorced after two years of marriage.[15]
