It seems their hobby now a days, but it is better to some extent, after a long while they lost their natural beauty which mean a lot for any normal person. However Plastic surgery is better option to change your appearance indeed. Today lots of Celebrities used to get surgery frequently to change their appearance.

What Hollywood wants is an unattainable ideal: immortal physical beauty. What Heidi doesn't realize is that it doesn't matter if you're a living Aphrodite or Adonis; if there's no substance behind the shell, that's all you are. Maybe it's a reflection of what really amounts to poor self-image on Heidi's part. She thinks all she has is her body. If you think like that, whether it's 10 or 20 procedures, you'll go at any length to main the thing that you think makes your identity.

I think so. In the cases of mass-plastic surgery, I say it's best to keep it to yourself. Small improvements, fine- re-doing your whole body- please spare us the details. I want to think celebrities got their glam from an amazing personal trainer and a great makeup artist. Why? Because then it's attainable for the average person. Also, if I'm going to buy someone's stuff I want to think there is more to her than looks- maybe I'm weird? I think Heidi just ruined her career doing what she thought would make it. Anyone who buys her album will be thinking, "hmm what plastic surgery am I financing next?" And if we DID know about all the work Madonna had done, would we think of her differently? I think so.

So to your point- no, surgeries cannot change who you are as a person, nor your talent or make your career. It's way bigger than that. Especially in today's online world/transparent society- we knew who Heidi was before all this came out. People do business with people, not with plastic barbie dolls who don't stand for much.

Part of the Hollywood allure is that we think these people are so unattainable and so naturally beautiful...her being so public has shattered that dream and shattered my view of her as well.

They say that any PR is good PR...in the case of Heidi Montag, this PR has made a case for Plastic Surgery and the mental state of Young Adults who continue to struggle with their need to fit into modern day society. Not unfamiliar territory. We could all write a thesis about body image and self esteem-Heidi's case is no different than thousands of girls around the world. Who wouldn't want to get some neck fat reduced or their thunder thighs trimmed down? We've all thought about how we could be a better version of ourselves, but she was "ambitious" enough to go ahead and blow her money on 10 procedures and create a media frenzy...right as she released her latest CD. Wait. What album? Who has time to listen to her music when there are graphic and invasive pictures splashed in Gawker and People Magazine? Just asking...whatever happened to the good ol' days of music when publicizing an album meant hooking up with actors/models/stepchildren/backup singers and generating cringeworthy headlines? Madonna would never speak about any work she had done when releasing an album-she just hooks up with models her daughter's age. Let me go one step further on that point-what about producing an album that's about the music and selling copies because it is genuinely enjoyable and speaks to the people? Clearly, Heidi could not accomplish either. I have a feeling that deep down inside, just like her body is far from perfect, the Barbie girl wannabe's album is too. That's right. I haven't even tired to put some effort to listen to it. But I did manage to shake my head in disbelief at the disturbing photographs in the People cover story and pat myself on the back for not torturing my body or bank account for the sake of plastic perfection.

She's in denial of reality- she will never make it as a popstar no matter how many surgeries she gets because she lacks talent! She's wasting her money. I wouldn't get plastic surgery to advance my career because looks mean nothing in my field. Thankfully I don't feel the pressure although I would consider something after having childrenn yet that would be purely for my personal satisfaction and not society's.
