A woman with 3 breasts

She says 50 doctors refused to perform the surgery

This picture shows the woman who claims to have paid £12,000 for a third breast before the surgery.

Alisha Hessler, who now calls herself Jasmine Tridevil, made headlines around the world yesterday when she revealed her three boobs.

The 21-year-old masseuse says she saved up for two years to pay for the operation.

She claims she was turned down by more than 50 doctors who refused to "break the code of ethics" before one agreed to carry out the surgery.

Before and after the surgery


But she speaking from her home in Tampa Bay, Florida, today, she told The Sun: "This is not a fake."

The third breast is said to have been made from a silicone implant and skin tissue from her abdomen.

Jasmine says the third breast implant surgery was documented by a film crew and will prove her story is true.

In a series of YouTube videos she talks about her three boobs, even saying in one that she wants to reduce her other two to be the same size as her third.

She says: "These are definitely bigger. These are Ds and this (the middle breast) is probably more like a small C.

"I wanted all three to be Ds, but he (the surgeon) said the skin wouldn't stretch that far.

"But I might get another surgery to make them even. It would look better."

Jasmine says the fake boob feels the same as her other two - although the nipple had to be tattooed on.

She says her intention is to become a celebrity with her own TV show - and if successful promised to show the world how her mother and father reacted to the shocking news.

Jasmine said: "My whole dream is to get this show on MTV. I’m dumping every penny I have into this. If this doesn’t work, I’m through.

"This is a text message from my mom: 'Why would you do that? It's ugly. People are laughing. It looks ridiculous. It's obvious that you'll do anything for money. You have no morals and no boundaries at all. What's cool about making people vomit?'

"I knew my mom would have this kind of reaction - she's a very dramatic person.

"She texted me this... but I told her what I did on camera so if my show gets aired on MTV, you'll see my mom's reaction. I also told my dad on camera.

"I'm putting reality back into reality television."
