A woman claims she hasn’t aged in decades thanks to spending £86,000 to stay “forever young”.
Marcela Iglesias, who is originally from Buenos Aires, in Argentina, but lives in Los Angeles, who calls herself “human Barbie,” seems ageless.
The 47-year-old, who has a million followers, has shared photos from more than 30 years ago, when she was just 16, and claims she hardly looks any different.
Even people who haven’t seen the businesswoman in years are shocked when they meet her now.
But it’s not just about good genes: Marcela spends around £780 a month on IVs, wellness shots, vitamins and creams.
She also undergoes non-invasive cosmetic procedures to keep her skin smooth at least once a year.
She said: “When I meet people I haven’t seen in 10 or 15 years, they can’t believe I look exactly the same or even ‘better’ than before.”
‘They are amazed by my wrinkle-free skin, but it’s not natural, of course. I have spared no expense to become a human Barbie. I have used the best doctors and injectors and I am very happy with the result.
Marcela Iglesias, originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina, but living in Los Angeles, has spent £86,000 to stay young and has shared photos from her teenage years.

‘My face is worth every penny. Gravity takes its toll, so I’ll keep fixing what I need to fix.’
Staying always young involves more sacrifices than usual procedures. Marcela does not consume soy products, alcohol, carbonated or sugary drinks and follows a Pescatarian diet.
He exercises at least an hour a day and always sleeps eight hours a night.
The human ‘Barbie’ also attributes her glowing skin not only to Botox, but also to staying hydrated with a very powerful water filtration system.
She said: ‘I feel great; In fact, I feel more confident in my own body now than I did when I was in my early 30s.
“When people find out that I have a 23-year-old son (Rodrigo), they say I’m too young to be a mother.”
Marcela believes that cosmetic procedures are key to maintaining her appearance.

The 47-year-old, who has a million followers, has shared photos from more than 30 years ago, when she was just 16 (pictured aged 16).
She said: ‘In other parts of the country, people may judge you for having surgery, but I live in Los Angeles, the land of surgery.
‘I refuse to feel ashamed for using modern methods to maintain my good looks.
“People may call me plastic or fake, but I don’t care.”
Marcela’s journey with beauty improvements began 12 years ago. Since then, she has undergone countless non-surgical procedures, as well as going under the knife for breast surgery, cellulite treatment, muscle toning, and skin treatments to restore her hands.
Her son, Rodrigo, has also been inspired by his mother: Marcela “gifted” him a nose job for Christmas a few years ago.
Currently, he focuses primarily on non-invasive procedures such as biotechnology and fillers.

Marcela discovers that people are desperate to know exactly what she does to continue looking so young.
She said: ‘I have to tell you the truth: although you can do all the treatments I have done, sometimes plastic surgery is the only solution.
“It feels great to have people recognize the work I’ve done. Everything you put into your body will be reflected on the outside, so it’s really important to treat the inside as best you can too.”
“That requires a lot of sacrifice and most people don’t want to do it.”
The influencer isn’t done yet either. She is in consultation with a surgeon to get butt implants worth £12,000.
Marcela added: ‘The surgery is very simple, but the recovery is a bit difficult because you can’t sit down for at least three weeks, so I have to think about it very carefully.
‘I feel like my butt could be rounder and curvier and have more projection which can be admired more from a profile.
“These procedures are not intended to solve anything, but rather an improvement, and if I can afford it, why not do it?”
