“I have said goodbye to my nipples, thanks to amazing doctor,” Lukyanova tweeted on Wednesday, naming Andriy Nazarenko as the cosmetic surgeon who did the procedure.

She has been featured in several documentaries, including “Space Barbie,” produced by Canadian media company VICE.Īlthough she long claimed that breast augmentation was the only cosmetic procedure she had undergone, on Monday Lukyanova acknowledged to TV host Natasha Volok that she had opened her mind to more radical means of physical transformation. Lukyanova started gaining a following several years ago after she posted photos of herself on the internet. While Barbie’s have come a long way, lets hope they represent every American one day, tall or short, skinny or not, every person is unique and deserves to feel happy with their bodies.Valeria Lukyanova, the 28-year-old Ukrainian known as the “Real-Life Barbie,” has announced that surgery to remove both her nipples was a success, bringing her closer to the model of ideal beauty as imagined by toymaker Mattel. They are all beautiful and America needs to let them know that. No matter how hard they try, they cannot and will not look like Barbie.

And may don’t have the means or want to turn themselves into these dolls. But girls, at increasingly younger ages, may not want to look like that, but believe that they will not be happy or skinny if they don’t. Katya Soldak at Forbes, wrote this “Barbie doll syndrome,” may more likely be “a struggle for perfection or escape from reality.” If looking like a human Barbie is what makes these people happy, than I’m all for it. While many people do not go to the extremes these women do, they represent the growing pressure on young women to conform to the standards of modern beauty. American Justin Jedica has had 90 plastic surgery procedures totaling more $100,000 to turn himself into a “human-ken” While some may overlook their demographic, men are also affected. While she herself has not had surgery, she uses very complex makeup techniques as well as other forms of styling to turn herself into a Human Barbie. Also in Britain, Venus Palermo, a 15-year-old London girl who goes by the name Venus Angelic, creates YouTube videos to inspire others to become a Barbie. Just across the pond, Sarah Burge of Britain considers herself a “human Barbie” and spent more than $800,000 on plastic surgery.

Outside of the Ukraine, many other people are doing the same thing. Lukyanova uses her popularity to promote the lectures she leads about out-of-body experiences. Anime, who is a hairdresser and makeup artist, says that her “living-doll” look helps her gain clients and the publicity has advanced her career. Many believe that these women undergo these procedures to receive publicity and advance their careers. Anastasia Shagina, who goes by Anime has not undergone surgery, but is heavily styled and one day wishes too. Olga Oleynik, who goes by Dominkia has undergone many of the same procedures and styling as Lukuanova. Her measurements are a 34” bust and an 18” waste, much smaller then the average women.īut she is not alone there are two other Ukrainian women who call themselves living dolls. She used plastic surgery, eyelash extensions, colored contact lenses and makeup to become Barbie. Though the help of plastic surgery-which she openly admits to receiving-she became Barbie in the purest sense, not only becoming the most “perfect” version of herself, but the most perfect version of Barbie. 21-year-old Valeriya Lukuanova made international headlines in April because she turned herself into that “human-Barbie”. Today in Ukraine, women don’t only feel the pressure of perfection they feel the pressure to turn themselves into Barbie. A life-size Barbie wouldn’t exactly be your average women or your extreme-she would be way off the spectrum. Today, desirable runway models measurements are a 32-34” bust and a 22-26” waist. To give you a comparison, Marilyn Monroe’s measurements were a 36” bust and a 24” waist. It has recently come to light that Barbie, the perfect doll, well, has proportions very few women are likely to have: a 39” bust and an 18” waist. In an effort to silence the criticism, Barbie has become more and more inclusive every passing year-you can now buy a Barbie doll of almost any race, ethnicity or profession-but the one thing that hasn’t changed throughout the years is Barbie’s proportions. The doll has long been the model of perfection for little girls around the world.Many of Barbie’s critics say that the doll was leaving lasting impressions on girls long after their dress-up days.
