I realize I’m kind of going around some territory that been stomped on a lot. But this Heidi Montag surgery thing just has me prickling. Remember my post earlier about bad role models? Well, you don’t have to just be robbing stores or looking ridiculous at an awards show to qualify. I read fellow PsychCentral blogger Alicia Sparks’ post about Heidi and felt that I need to share my own thoughts.
Plastic surgery absolutely has its place. Procedures that correct problems and address health issues are welcomed by so many people who need them. A few members of my family have been through some procedures for those very reasons – well advised and positive for their life. From what Heidi said, it sounds like at least part of her nose procedure was to reset it because it broke and healed incorrectly. If that’s all she did, I could probably defend her from anyone calling foul about her surgery.

February 18th, 2010horrible role model I am her age and my teenage years are not to far behind me and I watched her on tv from laguna beach to the hills for 3 or 4 years luckily I am not that young to really look up to her but if I was I would be in big trouble. She’s pretty messed up and younger girls should notice that and not think that she looks pretty because she cut up her face and fixed her imperfections..
I second the idea that this is a horrible role model. Even withouth the obvious body dysmorphia and plastic surgery problems, why would she be a role model anyway? She’s just another reality tv star whose time is running out. I would be mortified if she was considered a role model when I was a girl.
