“I want to look better each day. Everyday. Everybody’s got their dream inside. It’s good when you can make you dream come true,” Hershey said.

Her goal was to make history with the world’s largest breasts. Now she’s done that in her country’s version of the Guinness Book Of World Records with size 34 triple F.

“It’s kind of serious. My doctor he says he don’t want to operate on me no more. Because in 5 years I’ve changed 8 times.”

Okay this is definitely one story that should have people talking.
Do you think that she is crazy for risking her health just to have the biggest implant record?

Full Story After The Cut…

We met up with 28-year-old Sheyla Hershey during a recent photo shoot. She’s a famous model and actress in Brazil. She says breast implants have given her a high self esteem for the first time in her life.

“I want to look better each day. Everyday. Everybody’s got their dream inside. It’s good when you can make you dream come true,” Hershey said.

Eight years ago Sheyla weighed close to 200 pounds

“I wasn’t happy the way I used to look. That really depressed me.”

Her whole life she wanted to be like country music star Dolly Parton.

“I was 9 years old and she was on Tv on a concert in England. She was singing and I saw a beautiful angel.”

Then she took it to the extreme. Her goal was to make history with the largest breasts. Now she’s done that in country’s version of the Guinness Book Of World Records with size 34 triple f.

“It’s kind of serious. My doctor he says he don’t want to operate on me no more. Because in 5 years I’ve changed 8 times.”

Sheyla’s implants are filled with a thousand CCs or two quarts of silicone.

Local plastic surgeon Dr Joseph Perlman says most of his patients choose less than half that size.

The average woman is probably a 3-400 CC implant.

“Well, a lot of doctors say I might have a huge problems with back pain but so far I’ve never had any problems so I might do have in the future,” she says.

Dr Perlman says the worst problem women face with large implants is back and shoulder pain.

“The other problems that can happen with a breast implant is you’re putting a piece of foreign material in your body and your body naturally forms a barrier around it. Just the same as it forms scar tissue around a splinter or scar tissue around a hip implant or a heart valve.”

From Dr Perlman’s experience, patients who choose larger implants tend to have more problems with that scar tissue and often have to go back to the operating room to have it removed.

Breast augmentation is certainly gaining popularity.

The industry has skyrocketed 900% the past 15 years. In 1992 an estimated 32,000 woman in the Us received breast implants. By 2002 that number jumped to 225,000. By 2007 it reached almost 350,000

While silicone implants were taken off the market because of possible health risks. The FDA re-approved them last year.

Sheyla feels better than ever about herself but others don’t see it her way

“I just don’t like people to look at me and laugh at me.”
