BREAST AUGMENTATIONS ARE OUT AND SMALLER IMPLANTS OR A MORE NATURAL LOOK ARE THE 2024 TREND


Breast augmentation is one of the first surgeries that many will think of when they think about cosmetic surgery. This type of procedure has been around for many decades and has generally been a popular choice, however, though this procedure still has popularity, many are now turning to smaller implants or other options, such as using the patient's own fat.


Why the change?


There has been a shift in beauty standards in the last decade. The 00s were all about being very slim and having bigger breasts, so augmentation fits in perfectly. Even in the 2010s, there were many trends around heavy makeup, the Kardashian bums, and the idea that we could all get the look too. However, since the pandemic, there has been a big push for ‘natural’ beauty. Many want to have skin that looks flawless without makeup, and bodies that still have harmony and match the current ideal of the hourglass figure, but not have looked like it was done by a surgeon.

Woman with “World’s Largest Breasts” Faces Staph Infection Complication

October 10, 2024 - Rhys Branman, MD




A Brazilian woman with the largest breasts in the world is experiencing complications following her latest breast surgery.

Sheyla Hershey has undergone more than 30 plastic surgeries, and suffered her first complication when a severe staph infection reached both of her breasts following her most recent breast augmentation procedure in Brazil earlier this summer.

Hershey, a mom who lives in Houston, said her new surgeon told her she should be concerned for her life because the infection could leak into her bloodstream. To fight the infection, Hershey has had to give herself infusions of intravenous antibiotics every twelve hours and is undergoing further treatment, possibly to remove her implants according to news reports. Hershey’s website, www.sheylahershey.net, provides updates on her condition.
