Barbie is all the buzz with Margot Robbie appearing as the beautiful, and natural, real-life Mattel doll in the soon-to-be released film, Barbie, that also stars Hollywood hunk Ryan Gosling as Ken.
And then, there’s Australia’s “human Barbie,” Tara McConachy, who–unlike Robbie in her character–boasts a pageantry of plastic, and admits that despite warnings from doctors, she’ll stop at nothing to achieve her perception of perfection.
After spending more than $200,000 on face and body transformations, Tara McConachy, 33, whose plastic upgrades are shocking some fans, is still looking for the “wow factor.”
A growing trend across the world, McConachy is one of millions worldwide, trying to achieve perfection.
At 5 foot 7 and only 100 pounds, including all her fillers and implants, the self-proclaimed “Australia’s Limited Edition Barbie Doll,” has had five breast augmentations, six nose jobs, eyes recolored to a “vibrant green,” cheek and butt implants, and endless rounds of Botox and filler.
Her body measurements, she says, are 37-17-29.
In comparison, if Barbie were a real-life woman, she’d be 5 foot 9 (wearing heels), with measurements of 39-18-33.
McConachy’s addiction to plastic surgery started when she was 20 and her father, who “just wanted (her) to be happy,” gave her new breasts and lips for her birthday.
“After I had the procedure, it was almost like a feeling of euphoria came over me and I was just hooked,” she said. “I am obsessed with the industry of aesthetics, it’s just everything I think about. Like, I eat, I breathe, I dream about it. If you can modify your body, why not?”
She added: “Anywhere you can put filler, I will literally put it in my face.Revealing that she’s been turned away several times from doctors who refuse to further enhance her already enormous breasts, Jayne, a cosmetic nurse and Instagram model, hatched a new plan, which had her appearing on season six of Botched with Hollywood surgeons, Dr. Terry Dubrow and Dr. Paul Nassif.
“I’m on a quest for a bigger chest,” she said on the show. “I just love attention so I thought getting plastic surgery and having bigger boobs–that’s going to be the wow factor, it’s going to be exactly what I need.”
But the doctors tactfully explained that she has “very low body fat,” and that her BMI (body mass index) is “dangerously low.”
“I have about five doctors. So if one says no, I’ll go to any of the other four. And if they say no I’ll just get someone else,” she confessed. “I always hear that I have too little body fat. But what I always tell people is that I look at food as a way of survival instead of enjoyment. But I’m still a bit extreme sometimes.”
Jayne, who said she previously had about 1000cc (cubic centimeters) in her breasts, reduced the size to 540cc when she experienced back problems. When she was on the show however, she was ready to go large again.
“You put 1000cc on that body?” Dubrow asked, looking at her tiny frame.
Nassif and Dubrow refused to do more surgery on her, saying she was far too small to carry the weight of such large implants. “You (got to) gain some weight…I’m worried about your health,” Dr. Nassif said, suggesting he was mostly concerned with her mental health.
Rejected in Hollywood, the Daily Mail reports that Jayne is heading to Turkey later this year, to increase her breast size.
“…There’s always improvements that can be made, which is why I’m heading to Turkey for another round of surgeries. With me, it’s not a case of less is more. It’s the more, the better.” She continued, “I’m not happy with my breasts. In my eyes, they’re too small. That’s why I want them enlarged from 1050cc to 1500cc. They will look great once that is done.”
By looking through recent posts on her Instagram account, it appears that McConachy, who pays for augmentation through an account where she offers exclusive content to fans, has had her breasts enlarged.
We prefer the Margot Robbie Barbie look, but if Tara McConaghy is happy, then so are we! What do you think about McConachy and her extreme look? Is she taking it too far or should we just let her be her?
