Real life Barbie and Ken spend more than £200,000 on surgery to transform themselves into their idols
A couple splashed out more than £200,000 on cosmetic surgery to transform themselves into a real life Barbie and Ken.
Quentin Dehar and Anastasia Reskoss have had dozens of procedures to make them resemble the plastic dolls.
The pricey treatments and operations have been funded by their parents.
Meanwhile their Barbie and Ken lifestyles are being funded with the proceeds from Quentin's two successful mobile phone shops.
To date their list of operations include two boob jobs, four nose jobs, lip injections, butt implants, cheek fillers, ear reshaping surgery, botox, eye bag removal surgery, fake tanning, teeth whitening, nail extensions and veneers.
The total cost stands them in at £209,000.
The pair, who live in France, are even changing their names to to "Ken" and "Doll" and drive around in a convertible Porsche and take luxury holidays.
University student, Anastasia, 20, who lives in Paris said the pair met at a boat party and she "knew that I'd found the love of my life."
She said she had over 100 Barbies in her collection growing up and has wanted to look like a Barbie since secondary school.
She said: "I just felt like I was never a really pretty girl and I believed I looked very pale too.
"I turned to the Barbies I always loved as a kid. I just loved how tanned and perfect they were.
"I realised that I had always wanted to look like the dolls that I used to play with.
"As you get older, you get to become who you want to be - and now I knew I wanted to become a Barbie.
"I started to learn how plastic surgery could allow me to change into a bronzed and beautiful doll."
Plastic surgery is our passion. We want to spend the rest of our lives together morphing into the dolls we love," he added.
"Our parents don't call us Anastasia and Quentin anymore - they call us Barbie and Ken!"
He said he was inspired by Ken's looks and his dream billionaire lifestyle.
He said: "I aspired to have the flashy cars and luxury designer clothes that my Ken doll had.
Anastasia and Quentin both confessed their plastic surgery dreams to their parents and they happily obliged their wishes.
Aged just seventeen, Anastasia's parents paid to for her to have her first surgical procedure to alter her body, undergoing a £3,250 nose job.
A year later, her parents splurged on a £5,000 boob job to take Anastasia from an already ample 32C to a 32E.
Meanwhile, Quentin's parents splashed £3,000 on a nose job for their eighteen-year-old son. Then at nineteen-years-old, they treated Quentin to Botox injections all over his face which totalled £600.
Anastasia, who is an only child, says: "I felt so much better after my first nose job and boob job - it was like having armour!
"My parents were so pleased with my nose job too. I had always had a tiny, ugly bump on my nose but after the surgery, it was slightly less visible.
However my mum and dad weren't so happy about my boob job. They didn't understand why I would want bigger breasts but they couldn't resist treating me to cosmetic surgery.
"I was a good daughter - I studied hard and did very well at school. At the end of the day, my parents would rather have a teenage daughter who takes care of her appearance than one who takes drugs."
Quentin adds: "I can't describe how much happier I was after my nose job and Botox injections. I felt like I was getting closer to becoming the real Ken.
"My parents love to spoil me and outwardly, they seemed to be pleased about how happy I was with my new look. But deep down, I think they found it hard to see me go off and do something that was 'different' to my face.
"Plastic surgery isn't 'normal' in France. But my mother and father accepted my wishes because they could see that I was intelligent and hardworking.
"I was always going to do well in life and I had a very entrepreneurial spirit. I wanted to make more money so I could get more cosmetic surgery and live the flashy Ken lifestyle.
"So when I was 19, I left university to start my own mobile phone shop in Marseilles. It did well and within a year, I opened a second store. I was getting closer to my plastic dream."
But despite their new-found happiness from their first cosmetic work, the pair felt there was something missing from their lives.
Anastasia says: "After my nose job and boob job, I was getting so much reassurance in my life from my appearance. But I felt that there was a certain joy missing from my life.
Quentin says: "It was the same for me too. I felt I had made steady achievements with my look but I wasn't accomplishing my full potential as Ken."
Then in August 2013, 18-year-old Anastasia's and 20-year-old Quentin's lives changed forever when they both went to the same boat party in Saint Tropez.
Quentin says: "We were both at a big boat party about two years ago. I was on the dance floor and suddenly, I saw Anastasia. She was only 18 at the time but she was so beautiful.
"Anastasia looked back at me and we couldn't stop staring at each other. I loved what she was doing with her look, she had her classy aura about her."
Anastasia says: "The very moment I saw Quentin, I fell madly in love with him.
"Quentin came up to me. He told me how gorgeous I was and I complemented him on his look.
"Then Quentin said to me, 'I've found the Barbie to my Ken.' It was amazing.
"We spent the entire night talking about how much we loved Ken and Barbie and our passion to become just like them through surgery.
"I was so happy to find someone with the same character and soul as me."
Quentin adds: "I couldn't believe I had met someone who was trying to achieve exactly what I wanted to.
"We discussed all the cosmetic treatments we wanted and what luxury designer labels we liked.
"Before we met, Anastasia and I had already started the process of becoming Ken and Barbie but now we had both found a partner who would enable us to reach our full potential.
"Together, we could become the ultimate French Barbie and Ken. We were pure class."
After their first meeting, Anastasia and Quentin immediately became a couple and were inseparable.
Quentin says: "The next week, we went on holiday together and I took Anastasia to my childhood chateau to meet my parents.
"We exchanged presents. My mum and dad were absolutely delighted with her."
After getting together as a couple, Quentin and Anastasia pushed each other to become the Ken and Barbie they had always dreamed of being.
The pair drove each other to make drastic changes to their diets and they also took on strict exercise routines.
