Valeria Lukyanova got viral on social media because of her distinctive look. She was dubbed as the Human Barbie because she executes her physique like the doll itself.
The 28 year old Ukrainian Model processes this alteration which is called, "Body Modification". This stems to a variety of reasons but more so, a human being wanted to portray a certain way through his/her physical changes. Body modification or body alteration is the deliberate altering of the human anatomy or appearance. It is often done for aesthetics, in remembrance of lived experience and as self-expression. In this case, her resemblance to a Barbie doll and to enhance the Barbie effect Lukyanova uses makeup and contact lenses over her naturally green/gray/blue eyes. She has stated that she has had breast implants, but that the rest of her body is natural and slender due to daily gym workouts and a particular diet.

I don't mind about people who modify their bodies, but there are some modifications that are a bit creepy to me, Idk if you've seen those persons who get horns on their head and split their tongues in half and sharpen their teeth.
I mean it's none of my business but I think it's interesting how they chose to live like that.

Sometimes this is associated with their past or in scientific terms called Dysphoria. It's when a person's trauma is associated with how he/she is not comfortable with his/her own skin to the extent that they want to modify and change it so their mind and body collides. But i am glad she is not doing something extreme though just to tweak out some changes to look like a barbie doll. Thanks for your reply!

I do not have an opinion on body modification, but, I think that is weird that she wants to be like Barbie the doll.
