'I see an upgraded version of me': Heidi Montag unveiled her new look to the world after undergoing 10 plastic surgery procedures in one day By her own admission, Heidi Montag is 'beyond obsessed' with plastic surgery.
So much so that the 23-year-old star of The Hills underwent 10 procedures in just one day in her quest for 'perfection'.
The reality star, who is hoping to launch a pop career, this week unveiled the startling results after going under the scalpel in November
Heidi was no stranger to surgery - by the time she was 21, Heidi had already had a nose job, collagen lip injections, and implants that turned her A-cups into 32-Cs.
But this time around proved more dramatic.
In a transformation chronicled by America's People magazine, she had work done on almost every part of her body, ranging from neck liposuction to a buttock augmentation.
She had a mini brow lift, chin reduction, Botox in her forehead and frown area as well as fat injected into her cheeks, nasolabial folds and lips.
Afterward, she told the publication: 'I love my body. I still feel a little fragile, but I've never felt more beautiful and sexier. I didn't know I could have this much confidence.
'I see an upgraded version of me. It's a new face and a new energy. It's a new person and I feel like almost all of the things I didn't want to be and who I turned into kind of got chiseled away. So I'm very excited for the world to see the new me and a real me.'
She admitted that in recovery 'the pain was everywhere', adding: 'My head felt like it had a jackhammer on it. I couldn't talk because of my jaw and chin... I was like, "I wanna die right now. I'm in so much pain. I don't know what to do".'

...and outside her home in Los Angeles yesterdayShe hasn't ruled out having more procedures to maintain her looks.
But the move has already seen her branded a bad role model by none other than her own co-stars.
Lo Bosworth, who also appears in The Hills, said: 'I hope that girls don't read the article, look at the decisions that Heidi made, and think that's normal.'
Chimed Audrina Partridge: 'Ten procedures in one day is a little much.'
Meanwhile, actress Emily Rossum said she was 'upset [to see] a young women in the spotlight advocating plastic surgery.'
But the now pneumatic blonde responded to her critics during an interview on Good Morning America yesterday, commenting: 'I would say that none of those people know me at all, and that's just a judgment.'
Heidi first stepped into the spotlight as the best friend turned nemesis of The Hills' central star Lauren Conrad.
In 2006, she began dating fellow cast member Spencer Pratt and the pair went on to marry on the show.
She has just released an album called, rather appropriately, Superficial
