When it comes to buying breasts, is bigger really better?
Cosmetic suregery gets more and more popular as prices for procedures come down and more and more treatments are discovered.
Breast implants are still up there with the most popular of augmentations, but is super-sizing really smart?
Maxi Mounds, seen in the photo, is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for having "World's Largest Augmented Breasts." Her fake funbags are a massive 42M... while her measurements are an incredible 156MMM-26-36!
What is the porn princesses' silicone secret? Silly string implants, which are polypropylene implants that keep on growing after implementation. Sound too good to be true? Well it almost is, since the FDA does not approve of their use at this current time.
For the curious,the world's largest natural breasted woman is Norma Stitz. Her mammaries are a jaw dropping 48V , and her measurements are 72-48-52. If you're thinking that is a whole lot of woman, you're right. Each of her breasts is rumoured to weigh a whopping 35 pounds each.
But are bigger breasts as appealing as they look? Maybe not, if you consider the story of Miss Lolo Ferrari. She is recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records under the number of augmentations category. After what is thought to have been 18 and even as many as 30 boob jobs, Lolo achieved a 54 J bra size, but suffered from a number of medical problems as a result, and had to rely on prescription drugs to cope.
Her breasts held as much as 3 litres of surgical serum each, and were supposedly designed by an aircraft engineer. Ironically, she had a fear of flying because she was scared they might explode, and she also had difficulty breathing and could not sleep on her back due to their immense mass.
Ferrari actually died in 2000 under suspicious circumstances, and her husband was briefly arrested in regards to the matter. Murder was considered, as was suicide, but his theory was that she actually suffocated under her own boobs. He was eventually charged and placed in custody, only to be released and compensated after her death was ruled to be a suicide.
Let that serve as a lesson to everyone out there considering a boob job, or trying to get their significant other to get one. Not only are dangers and complications a possibility with the procedure itself, but the after effects can also be quite a...handfull.
Bigger isn't always better.
