Heidi Montag is the 23 year-old star in the reality TV show “The Hills”.  Not surprisingly, her looks have been altered a fair bit over the past few years. Heidi Montag admitted in an interview with “People” magazine that she is addicted to plastic surgery. She claimed she had ten cosmetic surgery procedures performed on her in one day during November 2009. Although a lot of the work has been gradual and well-performed, her chest does look obviously fake and artificial.

In the People magazine article, Heidi Montag revealed that her plastic surgeries have included a nose job, chin reduction, botox injections in her forehead, neck liposuction, ear pinning, a mini brow lift, fat injections in her cheeks, lip collagen injections, liposuction on her waist, hips, and inner and outer thighs, buttock augmentation and breast enlargement surgery. You name it, she’s done it! Heidi Montag’s obsession with plastic surgery has placed her in danger of serious health complications or even death, as plastic surgery procedures can cause both.

According to “People”, Heidi Montag did not even tell her family about her plans to undergo so many plastic surgery procedures. She seems truly obsessed with plastic surgery and there will come a point where too much cosmetic surgery will make her look awful and it may even leave her scarred.

In 2009, the transferring of the Miss Universe crown from one Venezuelan to another, from 2008 winner Dayana Mendoza to Stefania Fernandez, caused a sensation in the world of beauty pageants. It was the sixth time Venezuela had won the Miss Universe crown in the 59-year history of the pageant. It was also the first occasion that the same country had claimed the title twice in a row.

Venezuela’s afterglow from winning yet another Miss Universe crown has definitely spurred its women to the more widespread application of cosmetic surgery. Surgical enhancement of the body has become such a norm in Venezuela these days that it has emerged as a top destination for “scalpel tourism” by foreigners looking for a lift or new contours at relatively cheaper prices.

“There are patients who come from Colombia, the USA, Ecuador, the Caribbean islands. They have surgery and then spend a few days on vacation,” explained Rosi Oyon, head of a French subsidiary selling silicon breast implants.

Denials that their beauty is anything but natural is par for the course in the beauty pageant world, but for plastic surgeons there was no doubt that Fernandez had a little help.

“I didn’t operate on her, but I am sure that she has had work. They all have,” Daniel Slobodianik, a plastic surgeon who has helped several Venezuelan celebrities better fill out a bikini, said.

Vanessa Brito, a 27-year-old Caracas resident who had breast implants fitted five years ago, explained that surgery was common for women from all walks of life.

“I think there’s a social pressure in Venezuela, a beauty ideal that can be seen in contests like the one for Miss Universe. And seeing that, everyone wants to look the same,” she said.

Laura Gonzalez, a 19-year-old student, agreed. Over the past four years she has had a nose job and breast enlargement.

“This goes beyond the Miss Universe contest. Venezuelan women love to look good. We love to get our hair done, to dress well. A woman needs to feel good about herself, and it’s something that has really influenced me,” she said.

“Venezuelan woman are among the most vain in the world. Beauty is considered a basic necessity,” Arturo Rojas, the head of another breast implant supplier in Venezuela, said.

Girls barely in their teens sometimes receive plastic surgery as a gift from their parents, as in the case of Yudnara, a 13-year-old who made a pre-op trip to a doctor’s office accompanied by her mother.

Even the risk of infection, which can lead to a mastectomy in the case of silicon breast implants, does little to dissuade adolescents from wanting to get plastic surgery done. Breast enlargement surgery is by far the most popular procedure in Venezuela, with an estimated 30,000 breast augmentations carried out each year, according to specialists.

“Mammary prostheses are the backbone of Venezuela’s beauty market,” Oyon said.

In this segment of the market, French-made silicon sacs are considered more reliable and smoother and tend to dominate over rival US, Chinese and Brazilian products. They account for around 80 per cent of the enhanced busts created. For foreigners visiting to improve their neckline, the difference in cost can be significant. In Caracas, breast enlargement goes for around $US2500, compared to several thousands of dollars more in other countries.

Silicone breast implants are not sexy. Especially when the plastic surgeon does not do his job well or doesn’t monitor the implants properly. When Janet Jackson stepped out in public in this low cut dress, her cleavage definitely looks bent out of shape.

Janet is already a sexy and respected role model for women. She doesn’t need breast enlargement surgery to make her more attractive. These implants take away from her perceived strong self-esteem and sends.

I liked Christina Aguilera when she was the girl next door instead of the skanky ho image she portrayed five years back. Thankfully she has matured as an artist and is now enjoying motherhood. She even has another album out. But who could forget when she started experimenting with her looks and exploring her sexuality.

The breast implants she had really made her look like a tramp. Once again, this was another case of unnecessary plastic surgery. It has been speculated that the breast enlargement procedure took Christina from an A cup to a C cup.

The breasts of former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham has certainly changed a fair bit over the years.

These days her fake boobs seem to pop out unnaturally from her tight outfits. The girl next door look definitely suits her more than her trashy image these days.

Did Tori Spelling & “The Hills” star Audrina Partridge get their breasts done by the same plastic surgeon? Judging from the wonky shape of their boobs, it certainly seems so.

The oddly-shaped cleavage of both young ladies indicate that it was some sort of botched breast enlargement surgery. Tori and Audrina both seem happy with the look of their breasts, with both flaunting their assets proudly in public. I guess their male fans won’t complain either.

Nicole Richie always receives media attention for being skinny and anorexic. I’m so surprised Nicole Richie has managed to gain some weight in recent times. Although most of it seems to have appeared on her breasts. It seems weird to see the once flat-chested blonde starlet having cleavage nowadays.

As far as celebrities go, Victoria Beckham aka Posh Spice was relatively young when she got her breasts enlarged. Usually, a female celebrity will wait until her looks start to fade before opting for a breast augmentation.

Victoria Beckham is still an attractive woman regardless of her obvious breast enlargement surgery. Although it seems her self-esteem needs a bit of raising.
