Barbie doll wannabe has 15 procedures in just one year to look like her idol

This 22-year-old student has transformed into a real-life pouting Barbie doll after undergoing "over 15 procedures" in a year.

Andrea Ivanova from the city of Burgas on Bulgaria's Black Sea coast has gone through a complete "metamorphosis" in a year.

The student, whose Facebook profile has a Barbie cover photo and now lives in the western Bulgarian capital Sofia, has always wanted to look like Barbie since she was a girl and she started her transformation last year.

She said: "Since I was little, I loved Barbie and dreamed about looking like her one day."

She reportedly injects hyaluronic acid in her lips and 'refills' them every time they start to reduce in size.

She said: "I did maybe over 15 procedures since then [2018]. I didn't count them, maybe there are more."

However, cruel trolls say she looks more like "Daffy Ducky" and the "Loch Ness Monster" than Barbie.

One said: "Oh no girl... You over did it. You look like Daffy Duck!"

Another added: "A monster from Loch Ness!"

After her photos made the news, Ivanova decided to respond to her critics.

She said: "Everyone has the right to live and look as they want, it is not necessary for everyone to fit to a standard imposed by other people.

"It is a personal choice and I have never been afraid to express it!"

It has not been reported how much she spent on the procedures.
