Speaking about her comparisons to Barbie dolls, she said in an interview, “I do not think that I look like a Barbie. I think I just look like a classy girl. It takes about an hour and a half to do that. That I did a bunch of surgeries to look like a doll and know nothing more about me. It is actually completely different and my look is only a side effect of my inner world.”
She also added that if her body requires any plastic surgery in the future, she would go with it. She said, “I am not against surgery. But for now, there is nothing I need to do.”

Body Transformation that gave her a Barbie look
Lukyanova underwent the breast augmentation procedure as confirmed by her after she got the platinum blonde look for her hair. Her transition into social media influencer status coincided with the start of a dramatic metamorphosis that probably required additional surgery.
However, as she denies having undergone any additional surgeries, we are unsure of the potential expense of her Barbie-like body.

Criticism and Allegations
Lukyanova has been the subject of skepticism. According to ABC News, Lukyanova was a fraud made possible by photo-editing software. Lukyanova was used by American author and educator Diane Levin as an illustration of the detrimental impacts of media objectification.
Lukyanova produced videos on YouTube and made appearances on the Russia-1 and Channel One RussiaTV networks to refute the allegations of image tampering. In addition to denying having her ribs removed to reduce her waist, Lukyanova acknowledged that she underwent a breast augmentation procedure. She also said that she has not gone with any other cosmetic procedures.
Lukyanova accused unrelated parties of manipulating pictures of her younger self in an evil ploy to indicate that she has got done body transformations.

Personal Life
Her childhood friend, the Ukrainian businessman Dmitry Shkrabov, is her husband. But Lukyanova asserted that she does not desire a “family lifestyle” or children.
In an interview, she said, “It has everything to do with the desperate desire to get married. A woman here is brought up for two things: marriage and motherhood. Valeria is the ultimate demonstration of what a Ukrainian woman is willing to do to herself. I bet she is exactly what men dream about.”
Political Opinion
When Lukyanova backed Russia during the Donbas War, it raised criticism. After posing in the Crimea, she wrote: “Never give up! fight! The fascists were combated by our grandfathers using only their own fists! Do not defame the Great Warrior’s honour! Recognize that Russia is always nearby.”
Additionally, she has aired racist opinions. In a 2014 interview, she asserted that race-mixing causes “degeneration” and that this is why there are apparently fewer attractive women in society today.
She even stated that a child born to a Russian mother and an Armenian father would require plastic surgery in order to have her nose reduced in size.
