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.
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 Jennifer Lopez’ rumors, Audrina Patridge or the Nikki Cox 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.
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.

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.
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 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.
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.
'I wish I'd NEVER had plastic surgery': Heidi Montag reveals her regret as she unveils new bikini body after breast reduction
Heidi Montag has unveiled her new bikini body just four weeks after getting a breast reduction.
The reality TV star displayed her smaller curves in a string of sexy bikinis as she celebrated her fifth wedding anniversary with husband Spencer.
The couple travelled to the luxurious One & Only Palmilla Resort, just outside Cabo San Lucas, where they eloped and tied the knot back in 2008.
Heidi, 27, had gone under the knife in Los Angeles to get her F-Cup breasts reduced down to a size C.
Heidi explained that her huge implants had caused her severe back and neck pain, as well as numbness in her arms.
In 2010 Heidi famously underwent ten plastic sugary procedures in one day, which included getting her F-cup breasts.
Heidi has explained how much her large breasts hampered her everyday life.
'Over the past few years my implants have handicapped me, I have not been able to do a lot of things,' she said.
'Over the past nine months I have not been able to do laundry, or look after my dogs or clean my house and I have had to stop working out because my injuries are so severe I cannot even do simple things like rowing or running.
'I have been limited in my everyday life and the last few months especially have been so uncomfortable and in pain that it has really been taking a toll on my life and my mood.'
Before her breast reduction Heidi admitted that she made a serious mistake have so much plastic surgery and regrets her actions.
'I definitely regret the surgeries that I have had over the years, I think I was so young and in such an unstable situation in my life with so much going on and so much pressure,' she said.
'It is really hard to be a woman in this day and age with all the media and internet and comments, there is so much more negativity coming at people, it is a lot easier to be insecure and let that get to me.
