But since going public with her plastic look, social media users have been left totally stunned after seeing her 'before' photo.
Revealing all to Truly on an episode of Hooked on the Look, the blonde beauty, who has been dubbed a 'human Barbie', explained: "I have spent between Botox, fillers, injections, surgery, tanning, hair, make-up, around $100,000 [£73,639]."
Reflecting on her desire to look like the popular children's doll, Marcela, who began getting Botox in 2012 and had her breasts done in 2022, said: 'All my life, I've been trying to look like a doll.
"I wanna emulate Barbie, she's my idol. I believe I can be anything I want.
'The reason that I wanted to emulate the Barbie doll is that my mother never bought me a Barbie doll. She disliked the doll.
'I love the aesthetics of the doll and wanted to look like her, not because I wasn't secure, it's just about how I perceived the doll aesthetically.'
But the mum 's unique look attracts attention wherever she goes and online, she can be subject to cruel comments.
She shared: "I get a lot of judgment. In the beginning it kind of bothered me.
"The things they said, 'you look awful, you look ugly, you don't look like a Barbie'.
'It took me a while to process the bad comments and that people will be mean no matter what."

But not ready to stop with her transformation, Marcela's next plan is butt implants, as she expressed her desire to make her derrière rounder.
Reflecting on her journey, the influencer summarised: "Obviously Barbie is the icon of the dolls, but I also wanted to bring my own version to the look."
Clapping back to those who dislike her look, Marcela snapped: 'They should not be judging, they should look in the mirror and judge themselves first, rather than judge somebody self.'
But YouTube users were stunned by Marcela's look and many rushed to the comments to share their thoughts, with trolls out in full force.
What are the risks of getting surgery abroad?
IT'S important to do your research if you're thinking about having cosmetic surgery abroad.
It can cost less than in the UK, but you need to weigh up potential savings against the potential risks.
Safety standards in different countries may not be as high.
No surgery is risk-free. Complications can happen after surgery in the UK or abroad.
If you have complications after an operation in the UK, the surgeon is responsible for providing follow-up treatment.
Overseas clinics may not provide follow-up treatment, or they may not provide it to the same standard as in the UK.
Also, they may not have a healthcare professional in the UK you can visit if you have any problems.

One person said: 'Where do these people get money to do these things and live the lavish lifestyle. They seem to have more money than sense.'
Another added: 'She was 100000000 times better natural!'
A third commented: 'She was so beautiful before the operations.'
Meanwhile, someone else penned: 'Her face doesn't look like a Barbie at all.'
At the same time, someone else wondered: 'Why would anyone want to look plastic?
"Girl, you need to stop the surgery and pay for a good therapist.'
