The most dramatic (and scary) surgery we've seen

Last spring, Sheyla Hershey went on a mission of the silicone sort, heading to Houston for a breast enhancement that took her up to a 34KKK.

At that point, the model and actress had eight surgeries and a gallon of silicone inside her chest.  But when Hershey wanted to enhance her breasts even more, she couldn't proceed in Texas, where there are limits on how much silicone can be injected into implants.

Hershey, a 28-year old Brazilian, wasn't stuck. Instead, she went to Brazil, had her ninth surgery, bumped up her boobs to 34FFFs, and earned the world record for largest breasts. The whole experience seems to be more of a calling than obsession with cosmetic procedures to Hershey.

"I want to look better each day, every day," she said in television interview. "Everybody's got a dream inside, you know? And it's good when you can make your dream come true."

The travel part, I get. And holding a Guinness record sounds great, too. But having breasts so siliconed and shiny that small children could slide down through the cleavage and disappear into the gulf of ginormity is not a dream I can relate to in any way. What about you?

Is traveling abroad for a boob job excessive or acceptable?

    Honestly, that is absolutely awful. People who go to these extremes need their heads examined...honestly.

    Not really something I'd be proud of; what the heck was she thinking? Oh wait, she probably wasn't.

    I really hate how the medical establishment takes advantage of women who aren't right in the head...

    Her next surgery will be to fix the bulging discs in her back for carrying 8 extra pounds on her chest.

    Spaeaking as someone who has large breasts from nature...that girl is REALLY going to regret that decision at some point. Now for the funny...if you rub her boobs on carpeting, do you get static cling?
