Danish actress Brigitte Nielsen plans to undergo plastic surgery for "Turning Old Into New," a four-part German reality series.

Nielsen, a 6-foot-1 1980s film icon, was once married to former action movie star Sylvester Stallone. In recent years, she has appeared in the reality shows "The Surreal Life," "Celebrity Rehab" and "Strange Love."

Deutsche Welle said Nielsen, 44, was seen and heard on her latest show telling a surgeon to "make a Barbie doll out me."

Dr. Gerhard Sattler then began performing liposuction on Nielsen's hips, thighs and love handles -- all while she was awake. Some of the fat removed from Nielsen will reportedly be auctioned off to the highest bidder.

Throughout the four-part series, Nielsen will also be seen undergoing a facelift and having her already surgically enhanced breasts reduced, Deutsche Welle said.

The operations are estimated to cost about $104,000.
