Is Sheyla Hershey, Biggest Breast Implants in the World, in Danger?

Plastic Surgeons like all MD's in the US take the Hippocratic Oath "Primum non nocere" which is the Latin phrase meaning "First do no harm". Unfortunately this patient was harmed by these implants that have undoubtedly cause a traction injury resulting in numb nipples, irreparable stretching of her soft tissues, and the acceleration of aging by gravity and weight ( - a lot of weight !) and the inability to find many clothing styles that will fit her. I suspect that the reason she went out of the country is that she could not find anyone to do this surgery here for good reason.Undoubtedly she will suffer more in the future because of her choice.

If the implant is too big, it may lead to complications.
One complication is sheerly from the weight of the implants and the effects of gravity. It is more likely that the breasts are going to sag if the sizing is not right for you. Symptoms associated with a lot of weight on the chest wall are back and shoulder pain. Therefore, some physical activity, like running, may become difficult to perform.
These oversized implants also set you up for complications like malposition (the implant not being in the right place) and implant edge visibility. The implant will stretch out the skin, which may lead to stretch marks and sagging.
I hope that answers your question on implant safety. It’s great that you’re doing this research. I always say that the best patients are informed patients.
You might also want to research your options for breast implants. Choosing the right implant is the number one concern among women considering breast augmentation. Did you know, there’s actually a way to select a implant shape, size, and profile that is completely safe and perfect for you?
A term that I use with my patients for the perfect implant is the “Pony Implant”.
So what do I mean by “perfect”? Well, a Pony Implant has three qualities to it. First, the implant meets your beauty goals. For example, you want to your breasts to look fuller while still appearing natural.
Second, when you chose your Pony Implant, you walk out of your consultation 100% confident that you’ve chosen the right shape and size for you. In other words, you won’t be second guessing your decision, and you won’t be afraid of having gone too big or too small.
And third, after your procedure, you are thrilled with your results, and say, "I’m so happy. This is exactly what I wanted!"
That’s the Pony Implant. And the great news is that there is a simple process to go about finding yours.
This issue of selecting the right implant is so important when it comes to patient satisfaction or dissatisfaction that, again, I really encourage you to learn more about it.
Thank you for reading and best of luck on your journey!

Hello, I wouldn't go as far to say she is in immediate danger, but this is not a favorable long term scenario for her. There are various reasons surgeries like this do not fly in America. Even if a surgeon agreed to perform the procedure, we don't even have implants these size. Sheyla's body will undoubtedly be harmed long term by these implants. Irreparable stretching of her skin and muscle, nerve damage, nipple numbness, the inevitable revision surgeries to repair her breasts after this will be costly and will not have desirable outcomes, the list goes on. I do not enjoy seeing cases like this relating to my livelihood. It's disappointing and concerning.
