It’s possible that people who aspire to achieve such an exaggerated look are suffering from a form of Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD). People who suffer from BDD obsessively think about their real or perceived flaws for hours each day. “When people [with BDD] look in the mirror, they see something different than what everyone else sees,” Youn explains. For example, if a person with BDD has a tiny bump on her nose, they might see it as a much, much larger flaw. In typical cases, patients tend to become exceptionally introverted (even agoraphobic, depressed, and suicidal in advanced cases) but body-image disorders present themselves differently in everyone. For Lolita, and others like her, she presumably believes that changing her appearance in this extreme manner is the only way to look attractive. “A lot of them will go to extremes in a misguided attempt to correct something that wasn’t a problem in the first place,” according to Youn.

Figure alterations to become a Human Barbie could also be considered a type of drastic body modification. Less permanent examples of body modification as a form of expression or art include tongue splitting, implanting horns, and gauging ears (though frightening-sounding, these actions are actually reversible, unlike going under the knife in most cases). The concern for Lolita being a minor is that she’s potentially altering her body in a permanent way that she might not find attractive later.  

Even if Lolita’s claims of not having undergone plastic surgery are to be believed, her body image outlook is still a cause for concern. She told Metro U.K. that she started dressing up because she wanted to look perfect and all women should want to be the same. "People have openly told me that they’re jealous of me and how good I look," she said. Sounds like she definitely still has some growing up left to do.
