Doctors: Heidi Montag’s Implants Are Dangerous

A short while ago, Heidi Montag revealed that, though pleased with her new body, which she got thanks to intensive plastic surgery, she did have to live with a few major disadvantages, like not being able to hug people for the time being and being prohibited from jogging. She might have more to suffer from the interventions, surgeons say for Us Magazine.

Heidi recently unveiled her surgically improved figure in a 2-piece swimsuit, which has prompted the magazine to consult with a few physicians and surgeons (who did not treat and are not even acquainted with the star) on the health dangers inherent in the type of procedures she undertook. It turns out, Heidi’s implants are very damaging to her health (particularly because of their size) because they can cause pain and even alter posture because of the strain they place on the spine.

“The excessive weight of the implants in these extreme augmentations almost always leads to chronic lower back pain and significant drooping of the breasts. Often, the entire balance of the spine can be thrown off, resulting in chronic neck strain, painful shoulders and even a stooping posture,” Dr. Lyle M. Back says. More problems may arise with the birth of a baby and later on in life as well, San Francisco-based plastic surgeon Dr. Joel Beck points out.

“If the breasts are too big, the baby can’t latch on to get a mother’s milk. [In time] the implants will thin the [skin] tissues and require a breast lift. [Because of their large size, they could] erode through the skin and be exposed, mandating [their] removal,” Dr. Beck explains. To make matters even worse, Montag’s plastic surgery-related woes could actually go even further than this, because she’s had a lot of work done on her face as well.

For instance, if her nose job wasn’t done properly and her nostrils were too narrowed, she could develop breathing problems later on. In other words, Heidi Montag could wake up at night unable to breath properly through her nose, other experts say for the same publication.
