Australia’s ‘Human Barbie’ Resurfaces: You Won’t Believe Her New Look!

A Melbourne woman known for spending $200k on extreme body modifications has resurfaced online for the first time in months. 

Tara Jayne McConachy – a cosmetic nurse who describes herself as a ‘human Barbie–doll’ – gave her followers a rare glimpse at her latest look this week, uploading a photo of herself posing at Mitchelton Wines in Victoria. 

The plastic surgery enthusiast, 35, debuted a Wednesday Addams-inspired look, which featured a white button–down shirt and black tie.

Tara’s thick black hair fell behind her shoulders, while a newly–cut fringe framed her cosmetically–altered visage.  

She completed her gothic look with a black mini skirt and patterned black tights, and accessorised her look with see–through heels and a fuchsia velvet bag. 

‘Bottled up but never contained,’ she captioned the image. 

The post came as a surprise for Tara’s fans, given that she has pared back her social media presence in recent months.  

Tara last posted to Instagram back in March during a trip to the Maldives, sharing two photos of herself lounging at a restaurant in skimpy summer dresses. 

Prior to that, she’d last updated her feed in September 2024. 

The Instagram model found fame in 2020 after appearing on E! reality show Botched, following extensive plastic surgery including five breast augmentations, six nose jobs and endless rounds of Botox and filler.

She appeared on the LA-based program in the hope of convincing Drs Paul Nassif and Terry Dubrow to give her bigger implants.

‘Everything is tiny on me except for my tatas… I’m on a quest for a bigger chest!’ she told producers.

‘I currently have 540 CCs [of breast implant silicone], and I’m just not happy with them at all,’ she said.

Tara said she’d noticed a ‘rippling effect’ on the skin on her breasts and hoped ‘filling out the space more’ would fix the issue.

But she was left disappointed when the doctors said her weight was ‘dangerously low’ at 45kg, making her far too slim to carry larger implants.

‘I’m really concerned about Tara’s overall wellbeing’, Dr Nassif said.

‘Not just as it relates to surgery, but she really needs to get both physically and mentally healthy.’

Tara said she’d stop at nothing to maintain and even enhance her ‘knockout’ 37–inch bust, 17–inch waist and 29–inch hips.

‘There is no limit for me when it comes to plastic surgery. It is incredibly addictive and I already want bigger breasts,’ she added.

‘As soon as travel is permitted, I have plans to go back overseas to visit my surgeon and get my breast size increased to 1500cc [from their current 1050cc].’

‘I think in this day and age, it’s very important for a woman to be able to express the way they feel and just express everything about beauty,’ she told The Morning Show last year.

‘Plastic surgery is how I do that and that’s what makes me happy. It gives me the confidence to be the best version of myself.’

In August 2021, she appeared on Todd Sampson’s headline-making documentary series Mirror Mirror, which followed a group of Australians obsessed with going under the knife.

In the show, Tara described herself as an ‘upgraded limited–edition Barbie doll’, while also bemoaning the inadequacy of her E–cup breasts.

‘I think I want to get my boobs bigger,’ she said.
