From Extreme Surgery to Gothic Chic: Meet the 'Human Barbie' Back in Action!

Melbourne Barbie Doll Resurfaces with a New Look, but Will She Ever Stop Chasing Perfection?

Tara Jayne McConachy, the Melbourne woman who's made headlines for her extreme body modifications and obsession with plastic surgery, has finally returned to social media after months of silence. The 35-year-old cosmetic nurse, who dubs herself a "human Barbie doll," has been on a self-imposed hiatus from Instagram since September last year.

But Tara hasn't lost her touch - she's back with a vengeance, and this time, she's channeled the gothic style of Wednesday Addams for her latest look. The post, which dropped earlier this week, features Tara posing at Mitchelton Wines in Victoria, donning a white button-down shirt, black tie, and a signature black mini skirt. Her thick black hair cascades down her back, while a newly-cut fringe frames her surgically-altered visage.

Tara's gothic-inspired look is complete with see-through heels, a fuchsia velvet bag, and patterned black tights - an outfit that screams "I'm a work of art." And as always, she's got a sassy caption to match: "Bottled up but never contained."

The post has sent shockwaves among Tara's fans, who've been eagerly awaiting her return. But what's really going on behind the scenes? Has Tara finally found some inner peace, or is this just another attempt to feed her addiction to plastic surgery?

For those who may not know, Tara's obsession with body modifications began in 2020 when she appeared on E!'s reality show Botched, desperate for a bigger bust. The program followed Drs Paul Nassif and Terry Dubrow as they attempted to help the most extreme cases of plastic surgery gone wrong.

Tara's quest for perfection was, quite literally, a spectacle to behold. With five breast augmentations under her belt (and six nose jobs), she was convinced that only bigger implants would fix her "rippling effect" on her breasts. The doctors, however, were less than impressed with Tara's physique - her weight at the time was a mere 45kg.

"It's not just about the surgery," Dr Nassif warned. "Tara needs to get physically and mentally healthy."

But Tara refused to listen. In fact, she seemed more determined than ever to push her body to its limits. She revealed plans to travel overseas for yet another round of plastic surgery, this time aiming for 1500cc breast implants (up from her current 1050cc).

"I think in this day and age, it's very important for a woman to be able to express herself," Tara told The Morning Show last year. "Plastic surgery is how I do that - it gives me the confidence to be the best version of myself."

And just when you thought it was safe to go back on social media, Tara resurfaced again in August 2021 on Todd Sampson's documentary series Mirror Mirror. This time, she described herself as an "upgraded limited-edition Barbie doll," bemoaning the inadequacy of her E-cup breasts.

"I think I want to get my boobs bigger," she confessed.

Now, Tara's back with yet another new look, but this time, it's clear that something's changed. Maybe, just maybe, she's starting to realize that there's more to life than just body modifications. Or perhaps this is just another attempt to keep the spotlight on herself.

Whatever the reason, one thing's for sure - Tara Jayne McConachy will always be a work of art in progress.
