Heidi Montag Reportedly Regrets Really Big Breast Implants

Heidi Montag wants those huge new breast implants removed ASAP!

The reality star, who underwent some 10 plastic surgery procedures last November, reportedly regrets getting G-cup breasts. Yes....we said G-cups.

I'm desperate to go back to normal," Heidi tells Life & Style. "I'm downgrading and going a little smaller, to a D or a double D."

Why the sudden change of heart for the 28-year-old star?

Apparently, Heidi is in some pain following the G-implant procedure 9 months ago. And toting around those very large breasts is quite cumbersome for an athletic girl like Miss Montag.

"I'm obsessed with fitness but it's impossible to work out with these boobs," she says. "It's heartbreaking. I can't live an everyday life."

This latest revelation by Heidi Montag comes just one week following the untimely death of her plastic surgeon, Dr. Frank Ryan. And Heidi is reportedly looking for a new surgeon to downsize her breasts.

So, can a woman trade in huge breast implants for smaller ones? Shouldn't that be a simple procedure?

Well, it depends. We did a little research and found one popular Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, Dr. Francis Palmer, who talks a lot about breast implants at his website. This is what he says:

....."You may exchange your Breast Implants for smaller ones should you wish to reduce the overall size of your breasts. Typically, you can go down one full cup size without risking sagging, of the breasts, or loose skin…but this obviously varies a great deal from patient to patient.".

It also depends where in the breasts the implants have been placed. For instance, are the implants located above the muscle or under the muscle?

Another breast implant expert, Dr. B. Pat Pazmino of Miami, cautions women who want to trade in their big breast implants for smaller ones, to do their homework.

...."For such surgery, it is incredibly important to be evaluated only by a board-certified plastic surgeon with a great deal of experience in breast surgery. Your surgeon may recommend removal of the implants or changing the implants to a smaller size. Although your surgeon will likely try to incorporate the incisions used to place the implants the surgery may be limited by the thickness of the remaining tissue and other techniques to ensure that your nipple and overline breast skin are not damaged."

Surely, Heidi's got a lot to think about, however, we agree with her decision to downsize those cartoon-like implants and get back to a normal silhouette.

Kim Kardashian Mixes It Up With Auburn Highlights And Clip-on Bangs

Gorgeous celebrities like Kim Kardashian change their look again and again...and it usually involves their hair. Shorter, longer, straight, curly, extensions, wigs. And then there's color. The greatest beauty accessory of all.

As model Cindy Crawford has often said:

"Color is the most important factor. You can get any plastic surgery in the world, but hair color is what enables women to look younger longer."

Let's look at reality star Kim Kardashian. She's been all over Hollywood....of course, in promoting the new season of the huge hit, 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians, debuting a new perfume, and a ton of other stuff like a Kardashian skin care line, jewelry, and so on.

And no one likes to look 'old hat,' as the saying goes. So, Kim K likes to mix it up, and her fans do notice. It keeps her lovely image and name on the front page. She gets a double dose of Hollywood headlines.

We all know the dark-haired beauty for those long, raven locks. But there's a little something different about Kim Kardashian these days. And they are called highlights. In fact, auburn highlights.

We think the subtle punch of medium brown-red warms her up and softens her look.

And then there are the bangs. We thought they might be her own. Well, sort of. Kim Kardashian is sporting clip-on bangs. That's what she told People magazine. Let's face it, temporary bangs are great to play with, because when you get bored with them, you don't have to patiently grow them out. You can go right back to your original hairstyle without skipping a beat.

Does Kim K have hair extensions? We believe Kim, Kourtney and Khloe are all wearing extensions. No. They haven't admitted to adding a little faux hair, but most celebrities wear hair extensions.

Celebrities have the resources and access to the best hair stylists in the biz, so they always look at the top of their game with the latest in beauty trends. And Nicole Richie is mixing it up like her friend Kim Kardashian. She, too, is playing around with color. The petite mom of two, who was rocking dark locks for 8 months, shared the stunning results with her Twitter fans and showed off a much shorter, honey blonde, tousled bob Check it out here.

Eat, Pray, And Apply This New India-Inspired Skin Care Line

KeSari. That is the name of a new skin care line by Richa Purohit. The beauty products are inspired by Indian culture and tradition, East meets West, with all the natural and exotic spices and herbal extracts, in between.

Think of modern science and traditional holistic healing together, and the perfect blending results in the Kesari brand.

We are especially intrigued with the skin care line's first product: KeSari Triphala Radiance Firming Serum ($44.50, 1.7 oz.). And according to the KeSari website, the serum packs a powerful beauty punch with these ingredients:

TRIPHALA: India's traditional and powerful three-fruit blend to replenish and reawaken skin, containing:

Fired Housewife Danielle: Is It Botox Or Brow Lift??

Danielle Staub.

Her name alone, makes most women crazy. And the recently fired reality star of the Bravo TV hit, 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey', will be making noise again next Monday night, when she walks off the Housewives Reunion show. It's going to be explosive...ha ha.

Can't wait for that wonderful train wreck. People are always talking about the 48-year-old, controversial New Jersey housewife, especially her eyebrows, and to what she has admitted to---4 boob jobs.

Let's take a closer look....Has Danielle Staub over-dosed on the Botox, or are her very high eyebrows, the result of a brow lift?

Who knows for sure.

A brow lift is a plastic surgery procedure designed to correct sagging in the forehead skin, upper eyelids, and eyebrows. It is a common cosmetic surgery done under local anesthesia with minimal discomfort.

The procedure smooths the forehead, reduces frown lines, and elevates the position of the eyebrow line. It gives back a more youthful and relaxed appearance, when done right.

Botox cosmetic can achieve a mini brow lift, temporarily, at least for about 3 months. The number one injectable can work wonders on the face, says Dr. Frederick Brandt, celebrity dermatologist.

"Botox cosmetic has revolutionized our field," Dr. Brandt says. "Botox is easy to administer, safe and effective."

Dr. Brandt has been credited with creatively injecting Botox to "lift" the face and make patients appear several years younger and refreshed. "The Botox cosmetic is used to create a ‘face-lift” by raising the eyebrows and tightening the neck platysmal bands and diminishing the appearance of the horizontal lines of the neck. As always, these procedures have to be performed by trained physicians."
.

The trouble occurs when Botox is placed inappropriately, and the patient ends up with very raised brow ends like Danielle and, er, Star Trek's Dr. Spock.

Here's how one Beverly Hills cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Alexander Rivkin explains it at his website:

"When Dr. Rivkin teaches doctors and nurses how to administer BOTOX®, he stresses the critical importance of a natural result. The patient should be able to move their face. Their forehead should not look too tight. Their smile should be natural. Their eyebrows should not arch like Dr. Spock!

The way to do it right is to always customize the dose of BOTOX® to the individual. That means taking the time to watch them move their facial muscles and knowing where and how much to inject."

Giorgio Armani Cosmetics Launches New Ads With Megan Fox In October

Sultry Megan Fox. You've already seen her in sexy ads for Giorgio Armani jeans and his Emporium underwear. And come October, the famous Italian designer will debut the dark-haired beauty as the new face of Giorgio Armani Cosmetics.

We cannot wait to see those Armani commercials. Mr. Armani creates incredibly beautiful fashion, and he has an elegant makeup line, as well.

Purple Lab Pearlesque Show Primer For Perfect Looking Skin

Are you 'primed' for perfect-looking skin?

Well, you can get there with the right makeup primer, ladies. And Purple Lab has a true beauty called, Pearlesque Show ($30), an amazing silicone-free primer blended with pearl powder, kiwi, and honey. Those, along with plumping peptides, and other intelligent ingredients, allow makeup to smoothly glide across the skin, creating an evenly toned complexion.

The beauty of a primer is its perfection at filling in fine lines and pores for a flawless finish BEFORE foundation application. Some women like to wear primer alone, and skip the foundation. But most primer fans love to create as smooth a complexion as they can, so that the next layer, that of foundation, glides over easily.

In other words, think of these steps, as building a house. Layer upon layer. Only in this case, you end up with an almost 'air-brushed' face. The primer allows your makeup staying power. Oily faces stay fresher longer. And if your primer doesn't contain 'built-in' dewy softeners for dry skin, then apply moisturizer before you prime.

Purple Lab Pearlesque Show Primer contains aloe and is friendly to all skin types. According to the company, ..." the formula is decadently rich and ultra moisturizing, giving you firm, even, toned skin.". We like the sound of that.

Primers seem to cost more than regular foundation makeup. At least starting in the $20 range. So, think of a primer as a good beauty investment. And Purple Lab has come up with a very good one, so we say it's a keeper.

Givenchy Taps Timberlake To Front New 'Play For Her' Fragrance

RWD Play FFWD for Her. That's the name of Givenchy's new scent for women. And it appears at fine fragrance counters starting in October, at $48 a bottle. It's classified as an Oriental floral.

And what's Justin Timberlake got to do with it all?

Givenchy has tapped the singer to bring sexy back and help burn up big sales for this new scent, along with lovely 'New Moon's' Noot Seear.

It also doesn't hurt that Justin Timberlake was already the Face of Givenchy's 'Play for Him' fragrance. And that was hugely successful, so the clever folks at Givenchy decided to continue with the 'playful' theme. And it's a great print ad that features Justin and Noot linked with a set of headphones tucked discreetly into Timberlake’s pocket, before Paris, the City of Lights atop atop the Eiffel Tower.

Like the 'Play for Him male scent, the Givenchy 'Play for Her' fragrance, will be tucked into a bottle that echoes a digital music player. Very nice.

By the way, there will be two versions, because women like to have a choice: The Eau de Parfum (which comes in the light pink bottle with notes of bergamot and white peach) and the Eau de parfum Intense (which has a deeper violet bottle with a succulent blending of orange blossom, pink peppercorns, and sandalwood).
