Reid Devastated by Botched Plastic SurgeryBy WENN| Wednesday, October 11, 2006

Photo GalleryHOLLYWOOD - American Pie star Tara Reid was devastated after her body was left ravaged by botched breast implant and liposuction procedures.

The star originally decided to have plastic surgery to fix her lop-sided cleavage and ended up being embarrassed to show her body in public.

She tells Us Weekly magazine, " I got my breasts done for the first time because my breasts were uneven. I was a 34B, but the right one was always bigger than the left.

" I weigh 110 pounds now, but I always used to fluctuate by 10 pounds, so my skin was kind of saggy. I figured, 'I'm in Hollywood, I'm getting older, I'm going to fix them.' "

The 30-year-old says the operation went wrong from the very beginning, saying, " First of all, I asked for big Bs, and he (the doctor) did not give me big Bs. He gave me Cs, and I didn't want them. At all.

" Right after the surgery, I had some bumps along the edges of my nipples, but the doctor said, 'Don't worry, it's going to be better.' But after six months it started to get worse and worse. "

The actress says her breast implants made her self-conscious--especially when it came to being intimate.

She says, " Guys I was dating would be like, 'What's wrong with them? They look really bad. You know, you should really get them fixed.'

" So embarrassing. I mean, you definitely need to turn the lights off, that's for sure. "

Reid also underwent liposuction on her thin frame at the same time to make her muscles appear more sculpted.

She says, " I got lipo because even though I was skinny, I wanted--I'm not going to lie--a six-pack. I had body contouring, but it all went wrong. My stomach became the most ripply, bulgy thing. "

Reid underwent reconstructive surgery last month and has endured a painful recovery, but insists her life is back on track.

She adds, " I'll never be perfect again, but I've got my self confidence back. "
