Korean surgery show gives Thai girl ‘Barbie’ transformation

The latest transformation of a contestant on “Let Me In Thailand,” the Thai edition of a popular Korean plastic surgery show, has not received the best feedback — the internet has jumped to criticize the “Barbie” transformation given to one woman in the latest season.

The cruel comments and bullying sadly continued for Prapaporn Pramo, a 20-year-old university student from Roi Et, who said she has been mocked for her facial features her whole life.

She said, “I went to a job interview. They told me I looked like a clown. They said my face was square. My nose was flat. My eyes were uneven.”

“When people want to be nice, they’d say I look like a Furby.”

With her 173 centimeter height, Prapaporn dreams of being a flight attendant, and she reportedly told the show producers that she’d like to look like Barbie, which is her favorite character.

To achieve the “Barbie” look, Prapaporn was flown to South Korea to undergo a series of surgeries. The doctors gave her forehead, nose, and eyelid surgeries, a cheekbone and jaw restructure, and a skin whitening treatment.

The feedback from viewers, however, was negative towards her new look, with many people describing her enhanced new visage as “weird.” To be fair, doling out quick and harsh judgement is probably what fans of these shows like best.

“Barbie doesn’t look like this. I feel sorry for her,” said one of the nicer comments.

Some people say she actually looks adorable, it’s just the haircut and outfit that need to go.

“Even a superstar can’t possibly pull off this outfit and wig,” another comment said.

Prapaporn, however, is grateful for the transformation. She thanked the show for giving her a “new life.”

“Now I want to pursue my dream of becoming an air hostess. Then I’d like to be a model if I had the chance,” she said.

 

Insanely Big-Eyed Surgery Addict Won’t Stop Chasing Dream of Barbie Look

Despite the famous toys now being available in different heights and featuring a variety of ethnic looks, a wannabe Barbie of Asian origin has spent $35,000 and plans further transformations to get the iconic mainstream appearance.

A self-proclaimed real-life Barbie and model, Ophelia Vanity, has posted to her Instagram followers about her surgeries, which as she hopes, will eventually bring her closer the her plastic ideal for several years. For the latest change – bigger eyes — the 30 year-old, half-Chinese woman from California has spent $4,000, athe Sun reports.

She told the media that she wasn’t trying to be racist, but admitted she’d always been drawn to a more iconic Barbie appearance and would like to look more European, although there are dolls and Barbies of every height, skin color and ethnicity.
Her monthly cosmetic routine includes Botox and lip injections as well as bleaching her hair.

She says she wanted to have rhinoplasty, skin bleaching, have four to six ribs removed for a slimmer waistline, get breast and butt implants as well as implants which permanently change the color of her eyes after the recent lid-moving surgery.

She meditated on the result: “The surgery has definitely made me more confident in my appearance and I’m really happy with it.”She relays that her ‘need’ for blepharoplasty dates back to 6 years ago.

She complained that a lot of people had teased her about her eyes. She told the journalists about her hope that the surgery would give her more confidence, as she has struggled with self-esteem issues as well as body dysmorphia disorder. She admitted she had anorexia back in high school, although she denies having it now.

Her boyfriend Justin Sterling, cited by the outlet, expressed his understanding and said the girl is addicted to surgery because “she doesn’t feel unique.” He claimed, “I don’t feel that way about her. She is definitely unique. But I could see how maybe surgery gets addictive.”

Would You Get Labiaplasty to Look Like Barbie?

Plastic surgeons have seen a huge influx of patients hoping to get plastic surgery because they want to look good on social media, have arms like Michelle Obama, or even make their exes jealous. Now there’s another procedure increasing in popularity: labiaplasty.

Also known as labia reduction or vaginal rejuvenation, the procedure itself isn’t new, but since 2011 increasing numbers of women in the U.K. and U.S. have elected to go under the knife in an attempt to boost their self-esteem and self-confidence (though some women do undergo the procedure to correct medical conditions such as intersex, vaginal atresia, or other similar conditions).

One procedure women keep requesting is the «Barbie,» which can be performed two ways. One involves cutting a «wedge»-shaped piece of tissue from the central section of each inner lip and then stitching the two lips together for smaller inner labia. The second technique is trimming or amputating the entire labia minora. The end result is a smooth, unlined «clamshell»-type genital area in which the outer labia appear sealed together with no labia minora protuding.

The «Barbie» is becoming so popular that in January Guernica’s Kirsten O’Regan went undercover as a woman seeking labiaplasty to investigate the world of this surgery. She visited several plastic surgeons, including Red Alinson, M.D., the urogynecologist in L.A. who invented the «Barbie» in 2005.

“I had been doing more conservative labiaplasties before then,” he told O’Regan. “But I kept getting patients who wanted almost all of it off. They would come in and say, I want a ‘Barbie.’ So I developed a procedure that would give them this comfortable, athletic, petite look, safely.”

Some experts have expressed concern about the increasing demand for labiaplasty, suggesting that many women are pursuing «designer vaginas» in response to the increased exposure to Internet porn. Others worry that there’s too little oversight when it comes to vaginal cosmetic surgery. In 2007, the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) officially opined that vaginal rejuvenation needs further scientific study to determine efficacy and that none of the cosmetic vaginal surgeries are considered «accepted, routine procedures» by the ACOG.

Moreover, the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology doesn’t recognize cosmetic gynecology as a valid sub-specialty, so there’s no certification or accreditation process for it, meaning that surgeons don’t need to undergo any additional or special training in order to perform the surgery.

In her piece, O’Regan talked to Gary Alter, M.D., a urologist and plastic surgeon who practices in both Beverly Hills and Manhattan, who told her that 20 percent of his labiaplasties are to rectify mistakes.

«I’m not mentioning names,” he told O’Regan. “Some of the famous gynecologists—I’ve done a lot of revisions on their surgery.” Dr. Alter also says that many women are given the «Barbie» without their consent.

Dr. Alinson echoed his sentiments.

“The Barbie’s a great procedure if that’s what the patient wants,” he told O’Regan. “The problem with this surgery, frankly, is that it looks easy, but there’s a lot of finesse involved. If you don’t know those nuances, you’re going to have dog-ears, or complete removal of the labia when that’s not what’s requested. That’s when the lawsuits occur.”

Welcome to the Dollhouse: A Conversation with Human Barbie, Nannette Hammond

In pursuit of my Human Ken interview, I started reaching out to Human Barbie candidates. This proved to be trickier than expected. With most of them located in Russia, there was a slight language barrier, though I did have a breakthrough with one—but more on that next week. To complicate things even worse, many of the Human Barbies wanted compensation for an interview, which I politely explained wasn’t our jam, or they were picky about what we could talk about. «Which questions will be asked during the interview?» one potential candidate asked me. Well, isn’t that what the interview is for in the first place?

With her warm personality, Nannette Hammond, proved to be the saving grace of the category. I emailed her to set up an interview, and not long after I sent out my request, she did me one better—she called me back. After being ghosted a handful of times before this point, it was a very welcome surprise. Hammond’s story is definitely an interesting one. She lives in Cincinnati and is a mother of five. Not long after allowing her daughter to get an Instagram account, Nannette got her own, and her «Human Barbie» image was born. Her fanbase grew particularly big in the U.K., so much so that the Daily Mail flew out to Ohio to photograph Hammond in her real-world Barbie Dream House, complete with a dressing room and pink convertible. Talk about living your best life. Still, she remains pretty grounded, which was evident in her humorous, candid tone as we joked about Cincinnati chili—they do this thing in Cincinnati where they put chili on spaghetti, and it pretty much sounds like the stuff dreams are made of. She may not be a real Barbie, but with her whole «you do you » attitude, she’s probably the realest. Scroll down to read our Q&A in full below.

Can you tell me about your childhood? What was it like growing up?

I grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio and basically lived here my whole life. I was blessed with two amazing grandparents that basically raised me and I lived a pretty blessed upbringing. I liked Cincinnati and we have a lot of friends and family here, and that was pretty much it.

What are your reactions to being called a Living Barbie? Was that something you were going for, or did it just kind of happen?

I guess how it all became what it is today was with my daughter. I told her that she could have one social media account, so she picked Instagram. I got on that as well—I had never even done Facebook before, but I did that, and before you know it, the UK was very interested in my lifestyle and me. The Daily Mailcame to my home for two days and they took pictures and videos of me and the kids, then it went viral. I wasn’t planning on any of this by any means, but it is what it is, and I feel like on my Instagram, I always say positive things. You know, to love yourself, love your body, and just be yourself.

When I was little, I did play with Barbies a lot. I just thought Barbie was beautiful and I changed my hair color to platinum blonde about 12 to 15 years ago. I liked the blonde, and with my plastic surgeries and stuff like that—I started plastic surgery in my 20s. I had a breast augmentation, and it all kind of went from there. I never wanted to look like Barbie or anything like that, I just sort of enhanced what I had, and had fillers, Botox, hair extensions, eyebrows and all of that.

I just started changing different things here and there starting in my 20s because I was a nurse for a plastic surgeon. I got a lot of perks from that, and when you’re working in that field and you see the pre-op and post-op results, it’s really amazing the changes that can occur with your face, breasts, or anything else. I’m all for that. I’m all for anything that makes you happy and every person is their own. If you don’t like it, then move on. I can’t stand people who are negative, and I live a blessed life, and it’s mine, so that’s that.

That was actually one of my next questions—how do you deal with or respond to people who are negative toward you?

I never, ever respond to anything negative on my posts. I just won’t do that, but it’s funny, because my followers who are friends of mine will come at them and sort of take care of that for me. I’ll be honest with you – it doesn’t faze me at all. It really doesn’t. I could care less. You could say anything to my face and it doesn’t faze me. I try to always be the bigger person, and I teach my kids that as well. One thing I’m grateful for is that they go to a private school, and each kid probably has only 25 people in their class, and never once have they ever been bullied about what I’m doing. I tell them, if they ever see a post that has something negative, we overlook that and we’re better than that. People are just mean, and if they say something bad about me, then they’re just miserable in their own lives. My kids get that.

It’s a good lesson because I feel like especially now, kids are super-immersed in social media.

Absolutely. They’re very supportive and I’m very lucky. I have to tell you, my kids are great and they are my world. I live in a huge house—we have 10 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms, but I clean the whole thing myself. I don’t have maids. I don’t have a nanny, I don’t have any of that. I enjoy waking up in the morning with my children, making them breakfast, driving them to school, picking them up, doing homework, then cooking dinner. It’s very orderly in my house. I don’t even have laundry baskets in my house, because we get same-day service. We have 3 washing machines, and I’m constantly on the go, but it all works.

Transgender ‘Barbie’ blows $1M on plastic surgery

A million dollar makeover turned an outcast into a showstopping Barbie doll.

 

Nikki Exotika, a 35-year-old transgender woman from Hoboken, New Jersey, has wanted to look like her buxom icon since she was 4.

Exotika, whose given name is Jason Torres, was obsessed with playing with dolls as a child and felt like a girl trapped in a boy’s body for as long as she can remember.

“I would always sit down when I went to the bathroom, I never stood up, it felt like I was born with the wrong genitals even at that age,” Exotika told Caters.

“I was confused and ashamed. I didn’t know what was wrong with me. Back then I had no knowledge of being trans and it was a secret I kept from everyone,” she added.

Exotika was bullied in school but didn’t let the name calling or regular beatdowns get in the way of her dream of becoming a real-life Barbie.

After school, Exotika would put on makeup, wear short-shorts and hit up drag bars where she met other transgender people for the first time.

She began taking illegal hormones and underwent sex reassignment surgery when she was 19.

“All I wanted was to be able to look in the mirror and escape the pain I had as a child and look like a totally different person,” she told Caters of her decision to have surgery.

Her obsession with perfection drove her to have six nose jobs, multiple eye surgeries, hairline surgeries, breast implants, calf implants, botox and several other expensive procedures.

Exotika has spent more than $1 million on her makeover and doesn’t regret forking over a single penny on the “gallons of silicone” in her body.

“It’s all paid off, because while traveling the world everywhere I go people look at me and say ‘Wow, look at her body, she looks like Barbie’ and always want to take pictures with me,” she said.

“When I walk down the street with my hair in a long ponytail, hot pink lipstick, shades, jeans and a crop-top, girls say ‘Oh my god, you look just like Barbie’ — that’s how I know I’m accomplishing my dream,” she added.

Exotika, who previously pinkstarted America’s first transgender pop group “Secret Girls,” said her next goal is to afford a pink BMW convertible and find a dream man to go with it.

“I’m still optimistic on the relationship front — hopefully, one day I’ll find my Ken. I’m looking for a tall, super hot, straight muscular man. I love tattoos and pretty boys that look like Ken Doll,” she said.

Exotika has stardom as well as love on her mind, and her extreme makeover has landed her a role on the small screen.

Exotika joins others like her on an upcoming reality TV show called “Plastics of Hollywood,” a real-life dollhouse showcasing people who have collectively spent over $4 million changing their appearances.

“When I saw Nikki’s transformation, I realized she had been through more plastic surgery than probably anyone else,” said Marcela Iglesias, manager of “Plastics of Hollywood.”

“A lot of people I know who were bullied at school take antidepressant medication, but Nikki instead continued to follow her dream and become who she wanted, ” she added.

The cast of 12 human dolls also includes Rodrigo Alves, Kim Kardashian doppelganger Jennifer Pamplona, Alien doll Vinny Ohh and Britney wannabe Bryan Ray.

‘Real-life Barbie and Ken’ admit they’re so ‘committed’ to surgery that they’ve ‘given up on love’

The ‘real-life Ken and Barbie’ have admitted that they are both giving up on love to fully commit to surgery.  Balance Festival: Meet the entrepreneur who’s changing the way we think about wellness 26-year-old Pixiee, who has had 17 operations – including the removal of six ribs to achieve a cartoon-like figure – met Justin, 35, while filming a TV show together. Justin has had more than 340 cosmetic procedures, one of which consisted of him designing his own back implants. The pair, who have spent a combined £380,000 on procedures, have both been rather unlucky in love, with Justin recently divorcing his husband of three years. Pixiee admits that while she gets a lot of attention, she hasn’t found anybody who is ‘willing to be a part of the lifestyle’. She says this is because she is the ‘lifestyle’.

‘People don’t realise the commitment it takes to look like this,’ she explained. ‘Surgery is my focus and I don’t have time for a man.’ Justin, who is a surgery consultant from LA, has had a more difficult time when it comes to love and has found his continuous surgeries to be damaging to his love-life. He said: ‘I have a reputation for being one of the world’s most extreme surgery addicts and I love pushing the limits. ‘I designed my own back implants but I want them changed as I’m not happy with them.

‘There are not that many people like me so it narrows the pool down.’ Though the pair are very invested in their own appearance, they say they aren’t too bothered about looks when it comes to a potential partner. Justin generally goes for a guy who is ‘nice and sweet and chivalrous’ while Pixiee just wants somebody who is supportive of her dream. But for the meantime, they’re happy to have found a friend in each other. ‘I’d seen Justin on TV before and admired him,’ said Pixiee.

The 34-year-old  ran into trouble when trying to enter the Middle East because he looks so different to the man he once was.

The plastic surgery lover, who is in Dubai for the opening of a new

hotel and club called Base, was held for three hours while trying to get to the bottom of his identity.

Is the Human Ken Doll becoming Barbie?

Last year, Rodrigo revealed his plans to get six ribs removed after he vowed to have a sex change.

The plastic surgery addict jetted off to Los Angeles to get them taken out, after admitting on Italian TV he wants to have a sex change to become Barbie.

His plans were to have three removed from either side of his rib cage so he can have a thinner waist.

Although he is getting the rib surgery, he says he would not go through with the sex change until his late 50s.

He has shown off his new ‘Barbie’ hair do and rock hard abs in pictures taken during a shopping trip in Los Angeles.

But at Christmas in 2017 Rodrigo said he wanted to move away from his famous nickname and instead urged his followers on social media to refer to him as «Roddy Doll» instead.

«I never aimed to look like Ken,» he told Sun Online. «But because of my fashion sense and my lifestyle I was given the nickname five years ago – and I have been having fun with it.»

A PLASTIC surgery addict who has undergone more than hundred twenty thousands dollars worth of treatment has transformed her home into a clinic and is now a qualified practitioner.

She can even do procedures on herself.

Maria explained: “I have gone from getting the surgery to actually doing the surgery. “I wouldn’t perform a procedure I had not had done on myself, unless the client had gone through a cooling off period.

 “I give myself top-ups with fillers and Botox. I know the human face better than many expensive surgeons.“I am pioneering a new form of cosmetic surgery treatment.”

The mum-of-three went through many of her plastic surgery operations while she

was still awake, explaining many are now done that way to ensure procedures

like lipo or breast reduction are equal on both sides of the body.

She also welcomes patients into her home who don’t feel comfortable in the

clinics which she believes can lack empathy.
