Appearance
Everything changed dramatically when Valeria posted her photos on the Internet in 2002, which created a sensation among the public. With the help of skillfully applied makeup, the girl looked like the favorite of all children - the Barbie doll. Valeria really liked this, and since then she has tirelessly began to improve her image. Currently, the beauty has a whole army of fans, for whom she posts her photographs on her Instagram and Vkontakte pages.
Valeria Lukyanova has been pursuing her goal for a decade. In 2007, she won the Miss Ukraine beauty contest, where she received a diamond crown. But she became a real sensation in 2012, when information about Barbie from Odessa appeared in Western media.
At that time, the video with Valeria Lukyanova on YouTube was viewed by more than 50 million viewers. By this time, the girl herself had secured the title of not so much a Barbie girl, but rather an alien under the nickname Amatue.
Path to glory
Valeria Lukyanova was born in Tiraspol on August 23, 1985.
She grew up in a friendly family and was the most ordinary girl. But among her peers, she was always distinguished by her desire to dress beautifully. From an early age, Valeria loved bright, fluffy dresses and spectacular bows. She attended a music school and danced. But the girl failed to obtain a higher education. She was expelled from the Odessa Institute for poor academic performance. Valeria decided to make a career out of her own beauty. Since 2002, she has redesigned her appearance and constantly improved her image to look like a doll. This helped her win the Miss Ukraine competition in 2007 and receive the coveted crown. In 2012, the whole world started talking about the “Barbie doll” from Odessa.
Plastic surgery
The public immediately became interested in how many operations the girl had done to change her appearance. According to Valeria Lukyanova, she had only one breast augmentation operation after she began to deliberately lose weight to 42-40 kg. At this weight, she was happy with everything except her breasts, which had shrunk a lot.

To look harmonious and feel confident, Lera enlarged her breasts by 2 sizes. Valeria explains her desire to lose weight to dystrophic proportions due to her narrow bones, in which even 45 kg becomes a burden for her.
Now the girl’s figure after plastic surgery, as well as after many days of hard training in the gym, looks perfect. Its dimensions are 86:47:87. Plastic surgery experts claim that such a thin waist is difficult to achieve naturally; this would require removing a couple of lower ribs.
Valeria Lukyanova before and after surgery
If you compare pictures with Valeria from an earlier period, you can see much more ordinary volumes than now. To which Valeria herself responds in her blog that the secrets of her beauty are work, proper makeup and spiritual development, and not plastic surgery at all.
According to skeptics, Valeria Lukyanova has undergone at least six operations, ranging from serious interventions to change the shape of the nose, remove ribs, install breast implants, and end with changing the shape of the eyes and the shape of the lips. In addition, specific doll-like facial expressions may be the result of Botox injections, which are known to severely limit the movement of facial muscles.
This assumption is confirmed by a large number of photographs taken before and after the proposed plastic surgery. Many of Valeria’s critics suggest that banal Photoshop also played a big role in the formation of her unusual image. In some frames this is visible to the naked eye. This hypothesis is confirmed by the fact that Valeria forbade her friends and relatives to film her in real life. And she often hides from annoying journalists behind the curtained windows of her house.
Spiritual practice
Valeria assigns a large role to spiritual practice in achieving an ideal appearance. Lera has been engaged in her internal development for a long time. After realizing her life, the girl switched to proper nutrition; now she is engaged in a raw food diet and vegetarianism.
According to Valeria, she has mastered the technique of traveling in the astral plane: she can travel in a dream both in time and in space. Thus, Lera “visited” Mexico, and even other planets.

Valeria's haters immediately began writing negative comments about her simple appearance and field of activity. The woman makes a living by conducting coaching trainings where she teaches self-care.

Now Valeria is passionate about meditation, esotericism and other teachings. The woman has been married for ten years. Together with her husband, the former Bagina visited many countries; she simply loves to travel.
Valeria's new image seems much nicer than the doll one. Almost natural beauty, perfect figure. And all this used to be hidden behind a layer of terrible makeup, painted eyes and other imaginary decorations.
The woman looks simply amazing for her age. According to Valeria herself, she is incredibly happy next to her husband. As for the birth of heirs, the former Barbie does not want to have children at all. She believes that family in its full understanding (with children) is the worst thing that can happen to her.
Well, the beauty’s husband is not against a childless union; he loves his wife very much.
