Sheyla Hershey has earned a spot in Brazil’s version of the “Guinness Book of World Records" and she is very proud of the reason why — for having the largest breast implants.
After eight surgeries, Hershey’s breasts measure FFF, MyFOXHouston.com reported. That’s equivalent to two quarts of silicone in each breast.
“I want to look better each day, every day,” the 28-year-old model told the TV station. “Everybody’s got a dream inside, you know? And, it’s good when you can make your dream come true.”
Hershey, a wife and mother, said she would like her breasts to be even bigger, but the state of Texas limits the amount of silicone that can be put into each breast.

And, doctors say there are medical risks with such large implants. Scar tissue could form around the implants, and she could develop shoulder and back pain.
"This woman says she wants to look better, but at some point we have to take a look at the definition of what looking better is," said Dr. Manny Alvarez, managing health editor for FOXNews.com. "There is such a thing as plastic surgery addiction, and even though we have limited facts about this story, I'd say she is coming close to that."
Alvarez said any doctor with strong ethical standards would advise Hershey to undergo a psychological evaluation before she has another surgery.
Silicone breast implants were developed in Houston nearly 50 years ago, according to the TV station.
