Israeli TikTok Star 'Plastic Mom' Shares Her Journey of Extensive Plastic Surgery and Online Fame
Natalie Molkandov, known as "Plastic Mom," is a prominent Israeli TikTok personality famous for documenting her numerous plastic surgeries. She has undergone a wide range of procedures, including breast surgeries, cheekbone enhancements, eye color change, and double chin liposuction, investing approximately 250,000 shekels, with 39,000 shekels spent on eye color surgery in France. She openly describes her surgeries as an addiction and expresses no limits except for gender reassignment surgery, which she does not feel the need for.
Natalie and her eldest daughter, Or, who was born when Natalie was in 11th grade, run a joint TikTok account with over 220,000 followers and 7 million likes. The nickname "Plastic Mom" originated from their followers and was embraced by Natalie. Despite her extensive surgeries, Natalie faces harsh criticism and sexualized comments online, including offers from men willing to pay large sums for her attention. Or initially struggled with her mother's transformation but now supports her, setting boundaries such as opposing a Brazilian butt lift surgery.
The duo's social media presence began in 2021 and has become a significant part of their lives, although they have not yet monetized their fame substantially. Natalie works as a nursing assistant and finances her lifestyle partly through an inheritance. She also invests in maintaining her appearance, including hair extensions and nails. Recently, they returned from a trip to Baku, Azerbaijan, where Natalie underwent additional cosmetic procedures.
Natalie emphasizes that behind the public persona is a caring mother and a person with depth, knowledge, and emotions. She aspires to launch a beauty product line and has considered soft nude modeling. Both mother and daughter have faced online stigma but continue to focus on their bond and personal growth. Natalie also attends weekly therapy sessions to better understand herself and cope with challenges related to her appearance and relationships.
Or is beginning a music career and released her debut single "Wars," inspired by Natalie's toxic ex-husband. Despite offers to participate in reality shows like "Big Brother" and "Survivor," they declined due to concerns about public reactions and family privacy. Their message to the public is to look beyond appearances and recognize the depth and character behind their online image.
