“Life in plastic — it’s unbelievable,” because the ’90s pop classic “Barbie Girl” once hyped.
As audiences across the nation ready for a summer of “Barbie” movie mania, one plastic surgeon on Long Island is offering a dream surgery that can transform patients into the legendary pink-loving doll — for the value of $120,000.
The plastic package offered by Dr. Scott Blyer of Cameo Surgery Center in Islandia touts a alternative from certainly one of three body surgeries, a facial surgery and the chance to get “classic barbie hair” along with pink nails and a teeth whitening.
“For some it might just be a breast lift or Brazilian butt lift,” Blyer, 49, told The Post. “For others, it’s liposuction with a breast augmentation and a few facial modifications.”
There’s also a male — or “Ken” — variation of body liposuction, six-pack etching, fat transfer to chest, along with jawline and cheek filler. The tally: $110 thousand.
Patients — each men and ladies — get chauffeured to and from the surgery in a pink Corvette. Men may request a special color.
The plastic package’s inspiration comes comes from a, well, interesting point of origin.
‘You walk out looking as near Barbie as we could possibly do it. There’s some assembly required.’

“There’s a procedure on the labiaplasty for girls after pregnancy. Persistently, their vagina lips get stretched out — we trim them and so they can look cute and we are saying on a regular basis ‘you’re going to seem like Barbie,’ ” Blyer said.
“That looked as if it would like really connect with quite a lot of people. When the movie was announced, we tried to rethink of a approach to form of package all the pieces as a bunch deal.”
The connection is particularly ironic considering that “Barbie” star Margot Robbie has said the long-lasting doll “doesn’t have reproductive organs.”
Regardless, the “dream surgery,” because it is billed, already has a ton of “buzz” with patients ready to take a position the small fortune within the upgrade, in accordance with Blyer.
“Who doesn’t wish to be an ideal Barbie doll, especially this present day? Being told you seem like Barbie is the final word compliment,” Alexa Tiefenworth — a 29-year-old real estate agent from Astoria who’s investing within the procedure — told The Post.
Putting it bluntly, Tiefenworth — who has already converted her entire apartment to Barbie pink — justifies the hefty price tag, saying “I believe being beautiful definitely gets you just a little bit further in life. I’ve all the time desired to live the Barbie life, it’s the final word goal.”
She also anticipates the surgery will give her an edge in terms of flipping properties as it’ll “definitely attract some recent clients.”
Meanwhile, Tiefenworth’s boyfriend couldn’t be more on board, she boasted.
“When you want the honest answer, yes, he’s most excited in regards to the boobs,” Tiefenworth said, adding that she would “support” if he opted to get the Ken getup.
Meanwhile, Daniela Martinez, a 29-year-old bartender from Bayside, is getting the surgery as she’s “definitely on the lookout for my Ken.”
Martinez, a devout Barbie lover since childhood in her native Colombia, believes the surgery will encourage her to be more confident in terms of not only finding a person — but finding herself as well.
“The higher I look, the higher I feel,” she succinctly said, adding that her family quickly funded the procedure.
“I said ‘mom, I would like to do that, would you find a way to support me?’ She said okay positive,” Martinez told The Post. “To seem like her, that’s all I would like … I’ve even been interested by doing modelling after [the surgery].”
Blyer vouches that while the branding is indeed “cute,” to say the least, the surgery package is in actual fact the actual blond deal.
“You walk out looking as near Barbie as we could possibly do it. There’s some assembly required.”
“Barbie,” starring Margot Robbie because the title character and fellow Oscar nominee Ryan Gosling as her Ken, hits the large screen July 21.
