"Bigger isn&amp;apos;t always better -- just ask Heidi Montag. Three years after famously going under the knife to get size-F breast implants (along with nine other plastic surgeries in a single day), the former Hills star returned to the OR to downsize her bust. Now, in the new issue of Us Weekly, she&amp;apos;s opening up about the procedure and proudly showing off her brand-new C-cup implants.\r\n\r\nPosing seaside in Santa Barbara, Calif., on Nov. 1, the blonde bombshell unveiled her smaller, more-manageable breasts, which she had redone in a six-hour procedure on Oct. 4. Prior to the operation, she had been suffering a number of health problems -- all related to her size-F implants, which she says weighed &amp;quot;about three pounds each.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I couldn&amp;apos;t conceptualize the weight of them in my body,&amp;quot; the 27-year-old MTV alum tells Us of her old implants. &amp;quot;They felt like bowling balls on my chest.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThey were so heavy, in fact, that she started having back and neck problems, as well as numbness in her arms. That, plus a meeting with reconstructive specialist Jay Orringer, convinced her she needed to have the implants replaced.\r\n\r\n\r\nNow, she tells Us, she feels better than she has in years. &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m the new, new, new Heidi!&amp;quot; she raves.\r\nFor much more from Montag -- including how husband Spencer Pratt has helped with her recovery, what her doctor told her that scared her into getting another surgery, and how different life is after The Hills -- pick up the new issue of Us Weekly."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
