This time she overdid it:

Avivit Bar Zohar revealed last weekend that she underwent a surgical procedure called "Barbie Makeover" - a face sculpting operation, which lasted eight hours, at a specialist doctor in Turkey.

She shared the photos after the surgery with her 600,000 followers on Instagram, and wrote: "Just follow your dreams, and don't let anything get in your way, a dream is meant to be fulfilled."

saying.

We turned to Dr. Hagai Betzer, head of the field of aesthetic studies at Tel Aviv University, and tried to understand what the surgery entails. Betzer explains that although Barbie's figure is very clear, but in such a procedure - in every country there are the necessary adjustments to the ideal of beauty. In Asia, Barbie surgery aims to be seen Like the manga characters in the comics, and the emphasis will be on very large eyes, which sometimes in order to achieve the desired result, radical and dangerous surgeries such as breaking the eye sockets must be done.

In the western world, they rely on the United States, and add to the surgery oxidized hair and porcelain veneers for the teeth.

And where do we stand in Israel?

In Israel there is an emphasis on a very strong cheek, large and slanted eyes, and even a small button in relation to the face.

What does the surgery include?

In the Israeli version, you start from top to bottom, and the emphasis is on increasing the area of ​​the eye and lifting the eyelids, raising the eyebrows to create a slanted and cat-like look to the eyes, strong cheekbones, creating a small and buttoned nose, enlarging the lips, and sharpening the jaw line and chin, to create a perfect look of a heart in the face.

And what are the risks in this type of surgery?

Dr. Betzer explains that every surgery carries a health risk. The anesthesia may go wrong, the procedure may cause damage to the face and nerves, and even in cases where everything is done properly, sometimes the body rejects the procedure, and this creates additional complications. In the case where the surgery is performed Abroad, as Bar Zohar chose, the complications could be even more serious.

Any routine checkup will require a flight, if at all we get an answer to the problems after the surgery.

"The difference in prices between Israel and Turkey is 20-30%, and Israel has a very high level of medicine, experts from the world's leading. The risk of surgery in a foreign country, where there is no response in case of complications, is not worth the financial difference and the mental anguish that may be caused to the patient," he Explains.

"Turkey is famous for hair transplants, and it has no other in the world in this field. The level of risk in such a transplant is minimal, and the chances of success are very high. In the case of plastic surgery, the risk is unnecessary, and the financial savings in costs may turn out to be secondary in the event of complications, which are handled professionally in Israel May cost more than the surgery itself," says Betzer.

"Barbie surgeries - an unhealthy addiction to change"

He also criticizes the barbie surgery culture.

"A little surgery here, a lift there, it's perfectly fine. The problem starts when a woman doesn't want to fix something herself, but to change completely. It starts with something small, and continues with an endless desire to operate again and again, without being satisfied at any point. In the professional world, this phenomenon is referred to as an addiction to change ".

What do we do to make a smart decision regarding the changes we are interested in?

"Any woman who wants to undergo such a complicated procedure should ask herself if the procedure will satisfy her, or if she will immediately want to do something else. You should also take into account that nothing stays forever, and any such repair will require maintenance. Barbie surgeries are extreme cases, it is possible Make small changes, without making a drastic change to the whole face. The problem starts when you do everything together. My recommendation - find a doctor you trust, consult with him, and make sure you are doing what is right for you," he concludes.
