Model Sheyla Hershey's latest breast implant surgery took her to the extremely large size 38KKK. Because safety standards actually exist in the US and no doctor would do the surgery, she went to Brazil. What kind of risks is Ms. Hershey taking by pushing the limits of her breast implant size?

Answer: What is too big? This is a good question. While larger implants seem to be "in" at the moment if the implants are too large for your body they can harm the breast over time. The extreme size of the mplants will stretch the skin which leads to thinning of the skin and breast tissue.

Answer: Very Large Breast Implants are More Problematic Over Time We have a good variety of implant sizes and dimensions available in the United States. For patients that want to use larger implant sizes, often they will be disappointed if they don't choose a higher profile implant. There are limits and trade-offs, however, and in no case would I suggest that a patient use an implant that too wide for the breast.For women that do desire higher profile implants, it is important to recognize that this will stretch the tissues more and is expected to cause more relaxation and thinning of the tissues over time, particularly if a person's breast tissues are thin and less supportive. It is likely that revision surgery and/or breast lift would be required more rapidly in such a patient, particularly if such a patient chooses to "downsize" the implant size in the future.For breast implant surgery, it is important to discuss your goals and your implant size choice with an experienced plastic surgeon.Hope this helps.

Answer: Limits in size Beware that bigger is not always better, skin stretches, thins, shows implant ripples, and scars are weaker than skin. Scars and incisions can thin more and open, exposing the implant. Finally an extremely large implant may become a burden once the enthusiasm wanes. Consider ones body before embarking on such endeavors.
