And this is the reality! Almost ALL GIRLS around the world, if it's possible for them, they want to literally undergo a plastic surgery to have perfect features - pouted lips, deep set eyes, beautiful nose.. There's nothing wrong if someone would "enhance" their beauty, but I hope, their attitudes could undergo some "surgery" too as I think it needs to be fixed as well.

Awesome though. 
LOVE it!!
And I personally am not a fan of 'hard-to-understand' art, if you have to think real hard about the message, then the message isn't formed well enough.
Plus, to me it's an original image.
So in short, great job!
My only issue with the piece though is the use of Barbie, and the use of the surgery lines. While they help convey your ideas clearly, to me, it is all a bit too overdone. Barbie has now become almost a clutch to those trying to send a message out for women's distorted views of perfection, and for playing a part in the low self esteem of women since her body is something that is impossible to obtain by a real human being. The surgery lines have also been used often, in a lot of artwork from photography, drawings, paintings, and music videos to represent that need for perfection and self harm done this 21st century.
While the photo is great itself, and your heart is int he right place, I feel that the concept could have been a bit more original, and executed in a more subtle way. The concept right now practically slaps me in the face. I could not miss it if I tried to. While getting your concept out and understood is a good thing making it so obvious is not. When it's so in your face, it no longer makes me think about what you are trying to say. After one look, I go okay, Barbie, Perfection, Surgery. Alright got it. And then I can move on and walk away. There is nothing really keeping me interested in the image after that. And since the imagery itself is so overused, there is nothing new, interesting, or different to make me go 'WOW!'.
What are other ways that women seek perfection? What other images, rather than a Barbie can we use to convey this distorted ideal of a 'perfect' person? And what ways do you, or the women close to you seek perfection? Have you ever considered plastic surgery, or perhaps had it yourself?
I think the photography is beautiful, and again, so is your heart. But I think that we can dig a little deeper, and explore the concept in a more original, heartfelt way.
