Looking back at her reality star fame, Heidi Montag says, “It was quite the whirlwind, and I’m happy to be out of it.” In a recent interview with Access Hollywood, the former The Hills star says she is glad to be out of the spotlight and has many regrets, including the disgusting extreme plastic surgery she underwent in 2009.
Originally, Heidi sought help from a plastic surgeon to fix a broken nose. But, she got a little a lot carried away and elected to have 10 procedures done in one day… a brow lift, a nose job, plumped up lips and cheeks, a chin reduction, breast implants, liposuction, Botox, and more.
"I kind of wanted a few enhancements and then it kind of got out of hand," Heidi admits. "I wasn't really told the repercussions and what would happen, emotionally and psychically, and the pain I would be in. I was kind of in shock." In addition, the extreme enhancements left the reality TV star nearly unrecognizable.
"I would never do it again, and I would never recommend it for anyone," Heidi shares. "I just focus now on being healthy, alive, and strong."

Heidi realizes now that she lost track of what's important, and she almost lost husband Spencer Pratt because of it. "He was very against [the extreme surgery]," Heidi explains. "That was a big issue in our marriage." No worries, Speidi fans (is the plural really necessary?) … the twosome is still together and happier than ever.
Heidi says she and Spencer weren't happy with who they had become because of their The Hills fame. Heidi claims, they stepped back and changed their path. "We kind of changed back to who we originally were," Heidi explains. "We're very grounded and humbled… money and fame and the fast life, you don't really know how you're going to react to it. I certainly never thought I would become the person that I was."
Married for four years now, Heidi says, "I honestly love him more and more everyday, I laugh more. We enjoy each other more, especially taking a step out of the spotlight. We've really been able to enjoy each other without all the chaos."
That chaos comes with a paycheck, however, and Heidi admits that they mismanaged their money "I only miss the money," Heidi shares. "If we would have saved our money, it would have been better." According to Heidi, they blew through "a million or so" on "clothes, hair, makeup, managers, publicists, agents, and lawyers."
