Media Impact

The media impacts everyone to an extent; bad, good, or both. However most of the time the media impacts individuals in a bad way because the media has the ability to make it seem like it is easy to do whatever is being done on television. Therefore people assume they can do it to and do it but it becomes a real-life problem in their lives. The media is then who is blamed for it.

Heidi Montag is an American media personality, singer, and celebutante. She came to prominence with her starring role on the MTV reality series The Hills. She was born in Crested Butte, Colorado but moved to Los Angeles to pursue some type of celebrity career.

She was always self-conscious of her appearance thinking her nose was too big and her boobs were too small. She started getting plastic surgery, but to the extreme. She got 10 procedures, done in one day which gave her health issues like back problems to stringy neck muscles. Risk of infections and other complications rise when surgery takes longer than six hours. She was only 23 at the time and had facial plastic surgery because she wanted facial changes to her face. She had a breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, and lip injections.  She reveled that she almost died from too much Demerol, but she said it was worth it. Heidi Montag faces Health Risks

She was definite influenced to get all this plastic surgery from the “Hollywood pressure” she will see on television and magazines. Hollywood critics on celebrity appearance a lot that must of made her more self-conscious than she already was. People watch television and read magazines to see what is hot in Hollywood, however Heidi over-did what is “in” Hollywood which ruined her life.

She says, "I definitely think I should have been way more informed. I think that doctors should really walk you through all aspects of it, not just the glamorous side of it. Doctors, it's like they're selling you cookies or something. I would love to not be 'plastic girl' or whatever they call me. Surgery ruined my career and my personal life and just brought a lot of negativity into my world. I wish I could jump into a time machine and take it all back. Instead, I'm always going to feel like Edward Scissorhands.”
