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: Oversized Implants can Cause Problems. Oversized implants can cause trouble over time: Symptoms of back,neck and shoulder pain. Severe stretching and sagging. Gravity eventually wins when they are too big. Severe thinning of the breast envelope can occasionally cause implant exposure which necessitates removal.

Answer: Pushing the limits in Breast Augmentation What one must consider in this situation is the harm enormous breast implants can do to the breasts, and the surrounding tissue.Such issues as: tissue strain, traction deformities, chest wall distortion, possible nerve issues, chronic back and shoulder pain, bottoming out, and irreversible tissue stretching. Some of these changes become permanent (such as the chest wall deformities), and others require restorative surgery such as a breast lift, pocket reinforcement, etc in time.As in any dynamic-"dont push limits". Especially with ones body.I hope this helps,Sergio Pasquale Maggi, MD, FACSAustin Plastic Surgery Centerdrmaggi.com

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: Danger from too large of implants There are many potential risks with getting very large and heavy implants. Plastic surgeons are first physicians, and should always put the health and well being of the patient first before cosmetic requests. Sometimes it is best to just say "no."
