Scarred from her blonde head to her "lumpy" thighs, reality TV star Heidi Montag now says she regrets the 10 plastic surgery procedures that left her with bald spots, uneven "G" cup size breasts, and telltale signs of incisions all over her body.

"This is not what I signed up for," Montag tells Life & Style magazine in an issue on newsstands this week. "Parts of my body definitely look worse than they did presurgery."

Among her complaints on the one year anniversary of her shocking procedures are unsightly scars including a two-inch raised blemish from her chin reduction, a jagged line behind her ears, two "caterpillar-size" bald spots from her brow lift, breasts that are not symmetrical, scars on her nipples and a bright red mark inside her nostril.

"People have fewer scars from car accidents than I have on my body," Montag laments to the mag.

This is a different story than the one Montag told last year when she flaunted her new face and body in a sexy fuchsia dress on the cover of People and admitted to a plastic surgery addiction.

She added that insecurity and a desire to be her "best self" prompted her to have liposuction on her waist, hips, inner and outer thighs, as well as, a buttocks augmentation and revision of a prior breast augmentation. Montag also had her ears pinned, a chin reduction, a "mini" brow lift, Botox and fat injections in her face.

The regretful tune Montag is now singing makes StyleList wonder if the reality TV star, who recently reconciled with her husband, Spencer Pratt, is feeling litigious. Her plastic surgeon, Dr. Frank Ryan, died in a car accident in August.

At the time of his death Montag released a statement calling him "brilliant," "angel" and added that he "changed my life."

During a photo shoot this month, Montag also told the mag the scars are a constant reminder she went too far in her quest for superficial perfection. "I would love not to be a plastic girl or whatever they call me. Surgery ruined my career and 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."

Love "DD"'s!!!! 44's? Can they really be too big?

Seriously, this young woman has had it easy her entire life, when she gets a real problem, then I might feel bad for her. Her scars are minimal and she did this to herself. Go pose nude for something...strip...

This is more of a last ditch effort to stay in the limelight.

Oh, the poor thing....NOT! Ok, so the scar on the chin isn't nice, but she did this to herself. Don't feel one ounce of pity for anyone that has these procedures when they are absolutely unnecessary!

I am a Calif native, born & raised, I am attractive, educated, and have not had ANY plastic surgery. You obviously need to get out more and see what & WHO is really out there..and try going more North when you visit next time! haha Or better yet, dont come back!!!!!!!!!!

Tiffany, 12-22-2010, 10:52PM

I'm a native Californian as well, and I haven't had any plastic surgery. I think that most of the wannabe/ aspiring actresses. singers, dancers, or the whatever they call themselves in LA that just generally try to promote themselves as 'star' material for some reason give in to having plastic surgery... It's just sad, and stupid for them to give in to the 'scene' in LA. I now live in UT (beautiful here btw) and there are girls here that for some reason think Ca is the best place to be (it's not, it's overpriced, and completely overrated) and if you let if you can easily be consumed with that industry of 'looking perfect' which surrounds it.

O and btw the girl I was referring to is probably a stripper I think now... poor dumb kid

Linda, 12-22-2010, 4:17PM

Really? Sounds like a last ditch effort to stay in the media. She did this to herself, her scars are nothing. Get a real problem and then I might feel bad.

Go pose nude for Hustler or strip in Vegas.

Career? What "career?" What she calls a "career" is actually a series of personal appearances with her husband that people watch with the same mild but digusted interest that they would have for a chimpanzee throwing it's own feces in the zoo.

Does she really think we feel sorry for her. She is very spoiled and is so desperate for fame that she will say just about anything. Maybe she needs to do a sex tape like Paris and Kim and leak it to the web. It brought them fame and in the case of Kim, her whole family became "famous". But this girl, admitted she lied about separating from her husband and did it for publicity. So now, she thinks anyone will believe anything she says. She needs to face it, her "fame" is over and she needs to find a regular job and live like the rest of us. Too bad she has no acting, singing or dancing talents, she was just on a reality show that is now over.
