Fact Check:

Some ‘disturbing’ photographs are doing rounds online alleging to show a 68-year-old woman ‘barbie doll’ after a number of botched plastic surgeries. The shocking photographs appear to show a woman with disfigured facial features and hair standing in between couple of normal, young people. Thankfully, the disfiguring shown in the photographs is not real.

Not Old Woman After Plastic Surgeries

The photographs are doing rounds online since May 2019, some mentioning the woman is from Florida and hates plastic surgery after the outcome. On the other hand, some viewers wondered if it is photoshop or bad makeup. The fact of the matter is slightly different.

Unlike the claims, the photographs do not show a 68-year-old woman after a number of botched, plastic surgeries. It in fact shows a model from London Cassie Lloyd under the prosthetics, made by makeup artist Luis Baptista. The artist created the art work for a character ‘Weirdo Helena’ as an illustration to inform people of the dangers and issues of beauty industry. He wanted to shock and inform individuals of the dangers of plastic surgery and how far we have come and continue to go with it as a society.

The artist also shared a short video on Instagram showing the making of the character Weirdo Helena. It involved sculpting, moulding, casting and painting. The last photograph in circulation in fact shows the artist and his assistant.
