Heidi Montag and Other Downsizing Celebrities

Nov. 8, 2013— -- intro: Heidi Montag is the latest star to acknowledge that bigger is not always better.

Four years after having her breasts enlarged for a second time to an F-cup, the former "Hills" star went back under the knife -- this time to have them reduced to a C-cup.

"I couldn't conceptualize the weight of them in my body," the 27-year-old reality star told Us Weekly about her implants. "They felt like bowling balls on my chest."

Showing off her new, smaller bustline, Montag said her size-F implants weighed about three pounds each and were so heavy that she started having back and neck problems and numbness in her arms.

Montag previously got C-cups in 2007 before up-sizing to F-cups two years later as part of a painful marathon surgery in which she underwent at least 10 plastic surgery procedures in a single day. A year after her shocking transformation, Montag told ABC News in November 2010 that she regretted her surgeries.

"I don't want the biggest boobs in the world and, to be honest, I would take them out and downsize them but I don't want to go under the knife again," she said. "I feel like I'm stuck with them now. ... Sometimes I wish I could go back to the original Heidi."

Apparently summoning up the courage, Montag had her breasts redone in a six-hour procedure on Oct. 4, telling Us that she feels better than she has for years.

"I'm the new, new, new Heidi!" she said.
