Heidi Montag's surgeries!!

The other day I watched an interview of Heidi Montag (from The Hills) discussing her plastic surgeries. She had a total of TEN surgeries done all in one day! Some of the things she got work on were her nose, ears, jaw, breasts, ribs, back, eyebrows, and cheeks. She doesn't look terrible now but you can tell that she had work done on her and she has aged herself. She looks so much older than 23. Looking at her now I would never guess that she was so young. She was a beautiful girl and because of society and the media she probably felt that she had to change herself to be perfect and "fit in". Why can't everyone just love themselves for the way they are? The different features we have on or face give us character and make us unique. If we all got plastic surgery done to us we would start looking the same... fake. We look at all of these celebrities and try to compare ourselves to them but we have to be media literate. Most of the photos we see are airbrushed and edited. Now that we are using Photoshop and Gimp we are seeing all of the things that can be done to a picture. This should make us realize that celebrities aren't as "perfect" looking as we think. Heidi had mentioned in her interview that her main message to girls is that beauty is from within. She has totally contradicted herself because this is not the message she is portraying. If she truly believed that beauty was from within she wouldn't have gotten all of these surgeries. I think it's sad that the media and society has so much influence on people such as Heidi. We all have to learn to love ourselves and not change they way we are for others. Heidi almost died because she had so many surgeries at once. This shows that this isn't normal to do and we were all made to look different. We just have to accept it.
