Part of the reason why Heidi Montag chose to have multiple procedures done all at once was because she didn’t want to go through recovery repeatedly, especially since she was working on building a career in music at the time. But the decision proved almost fatal, with the reality star confessing to Paper Magazine that she nearly died then. “Spencer thought he lost me,” she recalled. “I died for a minute … My security guards called Spencer and told him, ‘Heidi’s heart stopped. She’s not going to make it.’ And I easily could’ve.”
What’s more, she was made to believe that she would bounce back in record time, but what happened was the complete opposite. “My surgeon was like, ‘Oh, it will be a quick recovery, a few months.’ And it took me over a year to heal, so I could barely talk [with] my jaw,” she dished on Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast. “I just had part of my chin sawed off. It was really a lot just dealing with that.”

Because of her experience, she urges everyone to think twice about their plans to go under the knife. “Let me just tell any ladies and gentlemen and gender nonconforming folks out there — just everyone: The phrase ‘minor surgical procedure’ does not exist,” she told Cosmopolitan. “That’s the hard lesson we learned. There’s no such thing as one minor surgical procedure. And there’s certainly no such thing as 10 minor surgical procedures.”
