Many had speculated whether Lukyanova was actually real, with many claiming her to be an internet hoax. However, V magazine wrote in its "Living Doll" feature, "The truth is that Valeria is very much real."
V magazine wrote: "We brought this viral phenom to New York City, entranced by her unnaturally thin waist, dramatic curves, and trendy, new age sense of style, which often includes pastel spaghetti-strap crop tops, navel piercings, and bindis."

When asked about whether Lukyanova had plastic surgery to achieve her doll-like looks, she told V: "Many people say bad things about people who want to perfect themselves." She also went on to say, "Many people say bad things about people who want to perfect themselves. It's hard work, but they dismiss it as something done by surgeons or computer artists. But I don't take them seriously. I'm even flattered! It's what success is like. I'm happy I seem unreal to them, it means I'm doing a good job."
Since pictures of Lukyanova surfaced, many people have followed in her footsteps to imitate the Barbie look. She told V: "Indeed, I've noticed a trend. Every good-looking woman with fine features and a slim figure looks like a doll. I won't deny that I play along with people's perceptions. I'm amused by the reactions. I don't take it seriously."
Before Valeria Lukyanova became an internet sensation by achieving the first human barbie doll look, pictures of her before her extensive plastic surgery and procedures had also emerged.
In the photos, she appears to look healthy and normal. Although she reportedly denies the claim that she had any surgical procedures carried out, the photos on this site show that she looked like a healthy normal girl.
According to Dr. Anthony LaBruna, a Plastic Surgeon Director of Manhattan Plastic Surgery, "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." LaBruna appeared on "Good Morning America" earlier this week and said he reckons the cost of surgery would be somewhere in the $100,000s.
