The Sad Case of Heidi Montag
The Heidi Montag cosmetic surgery rumors have been confirmed and they’re worse than most fans would ever hope for them to be.
Montag, who is known best for her starring role on the MTV reality series
The Hills is a TV personality and singer that was born in 1986.
Extremely young for plastic surgery, even by the Hollywood standards,
Montag first achieved her celebrity in the year 2006, but she appeared
on other shows and productions till 2010, beginning work on her debut
album in 2009.
It was also in the year 2009 that Montag began the process that would
turn her into a plastic surgery celebrity, and all for the wrong
reasons as the personality herself would later admit to quite freely
once she recovered and realized she’d have to live with her bad plastic
surgery decisions.
Heidi Montag’s Cosmetic Surgery Gone Wrong
Montag’s case is somewhat unique among celebrity plastic surgery stories.
Unlike the Jennifer Lopez plastic surgery rumors or Nikki Cox’s cosmetic surgery
gossip that still fills tabloid pages, Montag has fully admitted to the
public, several times in fact, that she’s gone under the knife.
Heidi’s Plastic Surgery: Her Frank Chat With Mom
Before we carry on, this video contains audio footage of Heidi
talking to her mother about her various plastic surgeries. It’s quiet
clear what her Mom’s view is.
And not only once, but no less than 10 different times for 10 separate plastic surgery procedures to alter different parts of herself, which turns speculation into something much more concrete.
And not only has she verbally admitted that she’s had cosmetic procedures done, but Heidi Montag took it a step further.
Heidi Bares All To ‘Life & Style Magazine’
It was in 2010, roughly one year after her plastic surgery debacle
had drawn to a close and she’d recovered as fully as she could, that
Heidi Montag gave an interview to and underwent a photo shoot with Life
& Style Magazine.
In the interview Montag revealed that in November 2009 she underwent
all 10 procedures,
many of which left her with horrible results and even worse scars as
testament to her surgical decisions and pursuit of perfection.
Some Less Desirable Results
As a result of these procedures Montag was left with a slew of reminders of her poor decision, including:
- a 2 inch long raised scar beneath her chin from a botched chin reduction attempt
- two caterpillar sized bald spots from a face lift just above her hair line
- round surgical scars on her lower back and thighs from poorly executed liposuctions
- horrid, jagged slash marks behind her ears from having them pinned back
- and a number of other unpleasant and unsightly results such as
uneven and scarred breasts resulted from the poor attempts at further
cosmetic improvement.
“
Parts of my body definitely look worse than they did pre-surgery,” Montag told Life & Style in the first really candid interview she underwent specifically about her procedure and the results of it.
“
This is not what I signed up for.” Montag also added.
Commenting on the sheer quantity of the poor results she’d gotten:
“
People have fewer scars from car accidents than I have on my body.”
But it seems that Heidi still doesn’t need much convincing that she might need even more surgery.
Why Did Heidi Montag Get Surgery?
According to Montag’s interview with Life & Style Magazine the
young and rising star was seeking perfection, and she decided she needed
to get cosmetic surgery done on her already attractive physique in
order to achieve it.
Given that some of Hollywood’s greatest and most iconic bodies and faces, including that of the famed starlet Marilyn Monroe,
were created with the aid of a plastic surgeon’s scalpel it’s no wonder
that the idea that you need plastic surgery to be beautiful and famous
in tinsel town has managed to survive in the halls of the Hollywood
elite.
And Montag clearly fell prey to the pressure to be perfect, even at
such a young age when her body was still firm, fit and changing
naturally.
Surgery That Had The Opposite Effect
The ironic part of going through so much surgery, and in doing so
much of it so close together, was that rather than eliminating Montag’s
flaws it actually back-fired and had the exact opposite effect that
Montag had been hoping it would have.
In her own words about the results of her surgeries, “
I would
love to not be ‘plastic girl,’ or whatever they call me. Surgery ruined
my career and my personal life and just brought a lot of negativity into
my world. I wish I could jump into a time machine and take it all back.
Instead I’m always going to feel like Edward Scissorhands.”
Powerful words, and heartfelt ones from someone that was transformed
so horribly by a doctor that was supposed to make her more beautiful.
Nightmares
According to the interview the whole process was a horrible endeavor
for Montag, and possibly the worst decisions she’d ever made.
In the personality’s interview she said that she would have
nightmares about her face, and explained how her husband had to help her
with her clothes just so that she could do something as simple as going
to the bathroom.
Endeavors that were once simple and every day had taken on a whole
new difficulty as she recovered, or at least attempted to recover, from
the surgeries.
And the surgeon who performed all of these procedures,
Dr. Frank Ryan, died in a text-related car crash not long after he’d finished up Montag’s biological overhaul.
All in all it would be hard to imagine this endeavor going more wrong
than it did, or things happening in a worse way than they did in the
case of Heidi Montag.
Heidi Battles On: Writes Memoirs
Despite the surgeries that nearly killed her, and which left her with
the remnants for the rest of her life, Montag is still working.
Since her surgeries she’s had roles in a variety of television programs such as the VH1 reality show “
I’m a Celebrity- Get Me Out of Here!”
It was announced in October 2011 that Montag was planning on writing a
memoir of her life and times as a celebrity and the experiences that
she underwent.
Whether it was meant to be a cautionary tale, or if such would be included in Montag’s book, the TV personality didn’t say.
Whatever the outcome of her book, there is no doubt that anyone
considering the surgeon’s knife purely for cosmetic purposes should
seriously read about Heidi Montag cosmetic surgery before doing so.
