This is going to be a harder than usual post for me to write, just because it really tends to hit close to home. That being said, I wanted to throw my two cents into the pot (a little late, I know) about the whole Heidi Montag scenario.
Let me preface my post with this: I am not a doctor, nor will I ever be. And I can’t give you any advice on whether or not you should be getting plastic surgery, despite what the title says. My advice starts and ends with this: you need to do what is right for you, but if you’re considering surgery, I’d highly, HIGHLY recommend talking to both a surgeon and a therapist. Both are an important part of any life-changing decision. But that’s just my opinion.
Everyone has had their say about Heidi Montag’s new surgery decision, and I’ve been pretty quiet on the subject because… well, each person has to make these decisions for themselves; nobody can make them for you. But, after seeing the picture:
I was… saddened. But part of me understood. I’ve had jaw surgery – it wasn’t elective or cosmetic – but I could kind of see how it could get addicting. Sure, healing sucked (my jaw was WIRED shut for six weeks, guys. SIX WEEKS.) but there was such a change. You could see it, and it was faster and easier (well, if you think having your jaw wired shut is easy…) than really doing work. It happened so fast.
But, I’m kind of baffled. The other part of me is just so sad. I feel terrible for this girl (because really, that’s what she is) who has had what her doctor considers THIRTY procedures in one day. Who has made her feel so terrible for that to happen.
So, I thought I’d open it up to you. Have you had surgery or do you want it? Are you morally opposed to it? What do you think about what Heidi has done to herself? You can leave anonymous comments if you’d like, but I’d love to get some “real” opinions on the topic. And, if you’re uncomfortable with sharing on here, feel free to email me at jaime@thefashionablehousewife.com.
