“World’s Largest Breasts” Create Serious Medical Complications
Breast augmentation, one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures, can definitely enhances a woman’s self-esteem; but taken to the extreme, it can give women serious health complications such as those facing model Sheyla Hershey at present. The 30-year-old model, who cosmetically acquired 38KKK breasts to become the “World’s Largest Breasts” is now in hospital owing to the very breast implants that got her the title.
Sheyla Hershey is well acquainted with the world of plastic surgery, having undergone more than 30 cosmetic surgery procedures. However, her recent breast augmentation has landed her with a serious staph infection in both breasts. Doctors have told her that the infection might spread into her blood stream, owing to which she might lose her life.
Renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Jennifer Walden remarked that Sheyla’s condition is not surprising considering the fact that she has stuffed at least a gallon of silicone in each breast. She told FoxNews.com that, in her pursuit of the World’s Largest Breasts title, Sheyla got breast implants that are too large for her slender frame to support.
A picture of Sheyla sporting her mountainous breasts makes one wonder how modern science could achieve this. The model has augmented her breasts nine times; and with each augmentation, she has forced silicone into her expanded breast pockets. Dr. Walden explained that Sheyla probably had an opening called dehiscence, which means that the pressure builds up till the incision pops open and allows bacteria into the breast pocket.
Walden said that those who get abnormally huge breast implants usually suffer from these problems, which is why US laws forbid breast augmentation to such gigantic proportions as Sheyla’s 38KKK. Sheyla could get her problematic breast augmentation done only in Brazil.
A staph infection, however, is not the only medical problem Sheyla will have to face. In the long run, she might be left with severely sagging breasts, which will in turn cause neck and upper back issues. Sheyla might even find it difficult to move around and perform her daily chores. Worse still, she might end up having smaller breasts than she did when she took her first breast augmentation procedure. Walden said, “She has gone from the woman with the biggest implants in the world to likely someone who is going to have to have something similar to a mastectomy to remove infected and irrefutably damaged breast tissue.”
The Sheyla Hershey breast augmentation horror story serves as a not-so-gentle reminder for those considering breast augmentation procedures to make a proper study of the risks involved. Women who suffer mental agony because they flat-chested might have their self-esteem boosted with a breast augmentation. But those who are trying to follow in the footsteps of Heidi Montag or Sheyla Hershey must remember all the risks associated with breast augmentation such as anaesthesia reaction, infection, excess bleeding, haematoma, seroma, granulomas, pain, scarring, tenderness, chest wall deformity and loss of natural breast tissue. A long pre-surgical consultation with one’s cosmetic surgeon before going under the knife is advisable.
