I don't see much influence

Vincent N. Zubowicz, MD answers: Barbie at 50: Do patients want to look like Barbie?

Barbie is an icon of feminine beauty that seems to mirror our society's obsession with youth and appearance.  No matter how old she gets, Barbie stays firm, slim, pert, and pouty.  Do you think Barbie has in some ways led to patients requesting impossible dimensions and hard-to-maintain youthful appearances?

We all want to look good unless very eccentric.  On my website I have a chapter on "vanity" which I would recommend as a realisitic way of viewing body image, including occasional plastic surgery.
