My Response to Heidi's 10 Procedures of Plastic Surgery In 1 Day

I have a mixed response when it comes to celebutante Heidi Montag’s decision to receive plastic surgery. One the supportive end, I can relate to Heidi---having the desire of altering your appearance in order to disregard the physical scars caused by negative attention and insensitive critiques from your surrounding peers will drive someone to want to better themselves to seek some sort of acceptance, to fix the flaws. We have to face the reality of things, we live in a society where we strive for and praise things and people that are physically appealing. This has lead to inferiority complexes to kick in if those to don’t live up that unimaginable expectation. On the downside, as someone in the spotlight, sending a negative connotation to young girls about “perfecting” the exterior instead of embracing the naturalness of their body’s flaws can be an emotional and mental rollercoaster. I don’t down look what she has done to herself because #1: she was and still is a pretty girl and #2: if you want to physically change who you are because you’re not happy, and you have the money to do it, then, knock yourself out. But, I don’t think having plastic surgery is the issue here, I believe it was the amount of procedures done in a single day that was appalling.
