“A 42-year-old woman spends 500,000 dollars on cosmetic surgery to be like Barbie.” The headline, even though it is very striking, is not as much as the images of this woman, Nannette Hammond, whose life today is summed up in these numbers: 42 years old, 5 children and 1 obsession: being like Barbie, which has led her to spend 500,000 dollars on different cosmetic surgery operations. The chronicles abound in details about the surgical and non-surgical procedures followed, mentioning: According to the portal News Dog TV, which interviewed her: “as a child I loved playing with Barbies, I had about 50, I collected them. Growing up I felt shy, self-conscious about my appearance, and I wanted to be like the dolls.” She wants to look like her so much that, not satisfied with shaping her body to turn it into a human copy of the doll’s scarcely human body (much has been said about Barbie’s absolutely unrealistic proportions), she has acquired a collection of life-size “Barbie accessories.” Among others, a pink Porsche. Anyway. If you are regular readers of this blog you will know that this is not the first such case we have heard of; there are quite a few people who have done everything possible to resemble impossible models, including at least one American and another Brazilian whose goal in life is to look like Ken, Barbie’s boyfriend, which we have talked about here. They are not healthy behaviors, fueled by unscrupulous people whose actions have little to do with cosmetic medicine. We have said it, and we will say it again as many times as necessary: cosmetic surgery’s mission is to improve the appearance of certain parts of the body through surgical procedures, and in doing so it helps its patients improve not only their physique, but also their self-esteem, but those interventions do not solve other problems. It is essential for the practice of our specialty to display professional ethics commensurate with our technical and scientific competence. And we work on that every day.
