It is the fifth in the series detailing my own personal story of what silicone breast implants can do. I hope you'll read the complete series and look for the soon to be released book, From BIGGER to BATTERED BREASTS, by J.L. Morgan and K. D. Welsh, published by ARROSE BOOKS.

Brazil boasts that it provides the largest number of these surgical procedures in the world. Why must women measure their worth or physical appearance by the size of their breasts? They just don't realize that in their effort to increase their bust size, more and more women are subjecting themselves to untold risk.
