The Australian Tara Jayne McConachy became famous for her unconventional look, which is the result of many plastic surgeries. From an early age, she dreamed of looking like a "living Barbie doll". Her father, knowing his daughter's dream, funded a breast augmentation surgery and Botox injections into her lips for her 20th birthday. Since that moment, Tara cannot imagine her life without further procedures, which bring her closer to her ideal appearance.
She wants to resemble a Barbie doll. Plastic surgeries have taken over her life
In her quest to achieve the perfect appearance, 34-year-old Tara had her ribs removed, breast augmentations, and butt implants. She works as a cosmetic nurse, but it's not her job that has gotten her noticed, but her unusual looks. Tara appeared on an episode of the show "Botched", broadcasted on the E! channel, in which she asked renowned surgeons for another breast enlargement. In addition to this surgery, McConachy underwent a number of rhinoplasties and a butt implant procedure. Tara also regularly takes advantage of aesthetic medicine treatments, and botox and hyaluronic acid are her constant companions in her quest for an ideal appearance.
I am fascinated by the possibilities of plastic surgery. It is the only thing I can think about when I eat, breathe, sleep. If I can modify my body, why shouldn't I do it? - she said in the "Botched" program.
She underwent numerous plastic surgeries. She changed beyond recognition
Tara is active on social media, and her Instagram profile is followed by over 202 thousand internet users. She describes herself as a "limited, upgraded edition of a Barbie doll". In the last 14 years, she has undergone five breast enlargement surgeries, six nose surgeries and countless aesthetic medicine procedures aimed at improving the look of her face.
These places on the face where you can use Botox... I'm sure I've put it everywhere - she admitted in the "Botched" program.
Even though Tara is determined for further surgeries, the specialists from the program "Botched" refused to enlarge her breasts, arguing due to her low weight - just 99 pounds. The plastic surgeons concluded that a larger bust might negatively impact her excessively slim figure. Both doctors also stated that the woman had undergone too many cosmetic procedures and instead of about her appearance, she should look after her mental health.
I just love drawing attention to myself. It makes me want to be even more artificial. There are no limits for me when it comes to plastic surgery. I'm incredibly addicted to them and I'm ready for more procedures - admitted the "living Barbie doll".
Before starting her transformation, Tara looked like a normal, brunette girl. The first beauty treatments she went through had a more natural effect. However, this did not satisfy Tara, who is still planning further surgeries.
She is starting to run out of funds for expensive surgeries
The nurse's salary does not cover Tara's cosmetic procedure expenses, so she decided to set up a profile on an adult site where she offers her photos. In the first three days, McConachy earned nearly $10,000. However, it is still a negligible sum, considering that she had already spent over $200,000 on surgeries by 2022.
