Plastic Surgery for Heidi Montag

Celebrity Plastic Surgery, Television plastic surgery Comments (0)

By now, anybody who can read knows that 23-year-old Heidi Montag had ten cosmetic surgery procedures in one day and that she may be addicted to plastic surgery.

That might be extreme for  a non-celebrity, but in Hollywood, one’s face and body – are one’s fortune.

Back in 2007, Heidi admitted have a rhinoplasty and a modest breast augmentation.

Then in November, 2008, Heidi had ten procedures in one, ten-hour surgical session.

First, plastic surgery and Hollywood:

Some, like Joan Rivers and Phyllis Diller, use plastic surgery for a running shtick (source material) in their performances. Likewise, could Heidi just be drawing attention to herself to boost ratings of The Hills and her own album for business reasons?

Second, was so much surgery safe?

Plastic surgery is intended for people who are bothered by the look of a normal body part. If Heidi had a physical and was found to be healthy enough for plastic surgery – per state law and medical ethics – and could afford the procedures, it is her privilege to change her appearance how ever she wants.

Third, is she really addicted to plastic surgery?

We think Heidi means she is fond of rejuvenation surgery. The hallmark of true plastic surgery addiction is when a person is afflicted with a disorder known as body dysmorphic disorder (BBD). When looking in the mirror, that person only sees flaws, imperfections and ugliness.

The BBD patient is never satisfied with any amount of surgery and frequently sues his or her surgeons. In fact, surgeons are trained to ask particular questions that reveal patients who have BBD. 

Heidi says she looks better now so there is probably no true addiction.

We think the only remarkable thing about the whole episode is that she does not look that much different – her chin and breasts notwithstanding — than her former self.  Both versions are, in our humble opinion, beautiful.

To steal a phrase, the uproar and outcry  amounts to a tempest in a tea pot.

The list of Heidi’s most current enhancements include:

• Buttocks augmentation
• Revision breast augmentation surgery
• Chin reduction
• Ear pinning
• Revision rhinoplasty
• Fat injections to cheeks and face
• Liposuction to waist and hips
• Liposuction tothe neck
• Mini brow lift
• Facial Botox
