Valeria Lukyanova's doll-like features and looks have left critics speculating on the authenticity of her claims. Her highly unusual plastic face and body proportions have also sparked concerns and questions as to how she managed to get that sweeping Barbie look.
The Ukrainian has reportedly undergone plastic surgery as well as used everyday cosmetics to transform herself into a real-life Barbie. In a spoof video released in Jezebel.com, an animated Valeria is shown going to a plastic surgeon's office to attain her figure, and the flawless complexion is the result of putty.
Here are some photos that Valeria Lukyanova taken before she becoming a real-life Barbie:
In 2003, researchers found that if Barbie were a life-size woman, her measurements would be 32-17-28. Dr. Athony LaBruna, the director of Manhattan Plastic Surgery explained in detail as to what all needs to be done to transform a living human body to look like a plastic Barbie doll.
LaBruna speaking at ABC’s Good Morning America’s segment Tuesday said, “A women needs to get breast enhancements to be a 38DD and cut some ribs out" to get an 18" waist, make the hips wider and change her face. Of course, the woman would have to go blonde like Barbie.”
