A model known for her dramatically enhanced look is giving fans a rare glimpse into her past. Fetisch Barbie, a self-described “fetish icon” from Austria, has become famous for her extreme transformation and her mission to become her “best plastic self.” With more than 29,000 Instagram followers, she regularly receives comments calling her “pure perfection” and even a “goddess.”

In a recent interview, she opened up about how her journey began long before her rise on social media. She says she became fascinated with enhanced beauty at just 12 years old, admiring iconic figures like Lolo Ferrari and Amanda Lepore. Still, she insists her goal was never to copy anyone else. “I always wanted to look like me — just more plastic,” she explains.

But her transformation hasn’t come without challenges. Fetisch Barbie says her appearance and lifestyle often affect her relationships. People may be drawn to her bold look at first, but the reality of her day-to-day life—early nights, strict routines, and recovery time after procedures—can be “difficult” for others to handle. “My looks come from my lifestyle, and I’m not compromising that for anyone,” she says.

She also wants people to understand there’s a line between admiration and fetishizing. “I like when people are fascinated,” she says, “but please don’t fetishize me. I’m a human being—even if I look like a doll.” Luckily, she now surrounds herself with supportive friends and family, leaving behind anyone who projected judgment or insecurity onto her.

Today, Fetisch Barbie continues maintaining her signature appearance with regular fillers and Botox. She says she’s happy with how she looks now—but jokes that she might still make her lips even bigger someday. She has also shared photos from before her transformation, offering a striking contrast to the bold image she embraces today.
