Breast Implants, or Fake Tits

Breast implants (with varying and often dubious degrees of cosmetic outcome) have been around since the 1890s. Today it is said that approximately 300k-350k women get breast implants in America each year. That number comes out to 3% of our adult female population and probably includes repeat offenders upgrading or (thankfully) downgrading their units. Breast implants became mainstream when Pamela Anderson burst on the scene with Baywatch in 1992. Today Westerners travel to Cuba, Argentina, and Colombia for medical tourism and come back with massive mammaries at a fraction of the cost back home. The largest known implants in America (a whopping 38KKK) are owned by a proud 28 year-old Texan by the name of Sheyla Hershey (pictured here). She had to fly down to Brazil to legally clear the one-gallon limit. Way to be Sheyla, how did you get those back in through U.S. Customs? Readers: imagine having a gallon of milk strapped to your chest – does this girl even sleep at night? Some chiropractor in Texas will be making a nice fortune in the not too distant future.

Welcome Alternative: We at Overrated! are fans of the female figure and love a nice hourglass silhouette. Just look back to photos of Sophia Loren, Brigitte Bardot (hot) or Jayne Mansfield to get a good idea. We do understand that a full-figure boosts confidence in most women (the proverbial “I'm doing this for myself”). A nice bust-size goes a long way to get attention from the guys - but usually not the right kind of guys. If ladies in the tri-state area absolutely insist on getting work done, we suggest you go with Harry Haramis. We've seen his work recently on a friend of ours and the guy is a pro. But seriously, unless you need implants for medical or reconstructive purposes, realize that what God gave you is natural & beautiful. We'd rather you work out (P90X?) and firm up the bod vs. injecting yourself with potentially hazardous materials. There is a reason why the ancient Romans and Greeks didn't endow their statues with double-Ds. We also wish the medical profession would stop calling implants 'breast augmentations.' Those bags of saline/silicone don't deserve the euphemism; at the end of the day, they're just fake tits!

  2. Zoe, we appreciate your posts and comments. Thanks for reading! Hard to feel entirely bad for Sheyla Hershey, not a secret but implants are clearly a risk! Regards.
