Heidi Montag 'Blessed' By Life-Threatening Plastic Surgery
Posted by Danielle Bean in News on Thursday, January 28, 2010 1:12 PM
I don’t know where to begin with this.
First of all, there is Heidi Montag—a “celebrity” whose name I am vaguely familiar with, but I can’t really say if she’s an actress, a model, a singer, a ... what?
A quick Google search turns up the fact that she’s a regular on talk shows, has appeared in a “celebrity” reality TV show, and was a regular, playing herself, on The Hills. I think that’s a fake reality TV show?
In other words, she’s one of many young women whom I suspect are famous for being famous. And, apparently, having plastic surgery. Lots of it.
As in, 10 procedures in a single day.
Two months after the surgery, Montag said she is now starting to regain all of the movement in her face. “I’m starting to move my face more and more,” Montag said. ‘(But,) I feel very plastic … especially when I first came out, it was so hard for me even to smile and it’s still hard for me to chew sometimes. But it’s feeling more and more natural everyday because the swelling is going down.”
and
“I do love it and I appreciate it and I appreciate the science behind it,” she explained. “How incredible … we (are) blessed to even have this surgery that we have. We’re so advanced.
I’m not writing about this to say negative things about Heidi Montag. I see her as a victim of our twisted society, even as she uses her “celebrity” to promote unhealthy, immodest ideas about female bodies and beauty.
I just wonder, for the sake of young, impressionable women everywhere, though: Where will this stop?
A woman has 10 plastic surgery procedures done in a single day and nearly dies. After weeks of recovery and finally regaining some movement of her face, she speaks publicly about the “blessing” of plastic surgery and no one intervenes? No one tries to tell this woman she is hurting herself? The press just publishes her interviews and eagerly awaits her upcoming nude photo shoot?
This is normal? This is okay?
No, it’s not.
