It’s no secret that she’s been heavily modified via plastic surgery, and Heidi Montag was spotted this week sporting some surgical tape over her nose.
But rather than it being from a new procedure, Heidi told press the tape was just a carry-over from her surgery back in November of 2009.
Ms. Montag explained, "Except for filming and a few photo shoots, I've had my nose tape on 24 hours a day since November. It takes a year for your nose to heal. This is just the first photo that anyone has seen of it."
"The last time I didn't wear tape after surgery and my nose changed shape. The tape is supposed to keep the swelling down and hold my nose in place the way Dr. Ryan sculpted it. Dr. Ryan always said I was his best, most cautious patient, and I'm not taking any chances now that he's gone. I don't want my face to fall off like Michael Jackson's."
