Soon after that experience, she underwent surgery in Brazil to inject a gel into her arms to make them look more muscular. She lost use of both arms for a while, and the experience led her to seek psychotherapy. In 2013, Alves was diagnosed with body dysmorphic disorder; a “mental health condition where a person spends an obsessive amount of time worrying about flaws in their appearance”.
Alves appeared on the American reality series Botched in 2017 (season 4, episode 4), where cosmetic surgeons attempt to improve unsuccessful cosmetic surgeries. Paul Nassif refused to undertake additional rhinoplasty on Alves, noting the nasal passages were blocked with scarring, nasal tissue had not recovered from previous surgeries, and Alves was at risk of substantial necrosis.

She has a sizeable monthly pension from an inheritance from her grandparents and rents properties in Puerto Banús in Spain to tourists. Her net worth in 2018 was estimated at over £30 million.
