Oops, she did it again…

Oops, she did it again…

Oops, she did it again…

September 14, 2012

What do you do when your career tanks and no one is paying any attention?  If you’re Heidi Montag, you start complaining (or whining) again about your Plastic Surgeon.

With Ms. Montag’s career going the way of bell bottoms and the pet rock, she has apparently no other option to relight her PR fame than by, once again, complaining that she is the victim of Plastic Surgery.  Her most recent rant involves what she believes is the development of post-liposuction cellulite.  According to the once-famous actress, she has apparently been left so disfigured that she no longer cares to wear shorts.  Sad story and helpless victim?  Probably not.  Let’s look at the facts.

First, Ms. Montag began her diatribe against former Plastic Surgery, Frank Ryan, shortly after his death.  According to her, she felt remorse after undergoing multiple procedures and, according to several interviews, places the blame for this squarely on Dr. Ryan.  And Dr. Ryan’s reply?  Well, he is unable to comment since he passed away in an automobile accident shortly after her criticisms began.

In all fairness, whether or not Heidi Montag should have undergone multiple Plastic Surgery procedures in one setting is up for debate.   I personally would have staged these procedures but that doesn’t mean that Dr. Ryan was at fault.  There are a variety of ways to safely perform elective procedures and Dr. Ryan apparently felt comfortable doing them all in one setting.  And so the true answer of who really wanted to overhaul Ms. Montag will probably never be known.

But back to her current concern:  Does liposuction really cause cellulite?  The simple answer is, No!  While liposuction can potentially lead to surface irregularities and lumpiness, it has not been linked to the formation of cellulite.  The process of cellulite formation as well as its effective treatment are both, unfortunately, not well understood.  But it is know that liposuction does not cause cellulite.

And so, for now, Ms. Montag will see a blip in her popularity and a brief rise in her online success which will both most likely fade as they did previously.  As for whether or not she should have undergone so many procedures or Plastic Surgery at all remains a topic of debate.  But, it should caution you, the consumer to be well educated before pursuing any elective procedure and drive home the importance of doing the right procedure, at the right time, for the right reason.  If not, there are far better ways to spend your money.

I hope this helps and I look forward to your feedback!

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Breast implants are not lifetime devices. The longer patients have them, the greater the chance they will develop complications, which may require more surgery. Breast implants have been associated with a cancer of the immune system called breast implant–associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL). Some patients have died from BIA-ALCL. Patients have also reported a variety of systemic symptoms such as joint pain, muscle aches, confusion, chronic fatigue, autoimmune diseases, and others.

Natrelle® Breast Implants are for breast augmentation and revision surgery in women at least 22 years old for silicone-filled implants and women at least 18 years old for saline-filled implants.

You should not get breast implants if you currently have an active infection, untreated breast cancer or precancer, or are pregnant or nursing. Tell your doctor about any conditions you have, any medications you are taking, and any planned cancer treatments. Breast implantation is likely not a one-time surgery.

Having implants removed and not replaced may lead to permanent cosmetic changes of the breasts. Breast implants may affect breastfeeding. Gel implants may rupture without symptoms, so periodic imaging after surgery is recommended.

Key complications are reoperation, implant removal, implant rupture, implant deflation with saline-filled implants, and severe capsular contracture.

Talk to your doctor for more information.

The use of Natrelle® Breast Implants is restricted to licensed physicians who provide information to patients about the risks and benefits of breast implant surgery.
