The Autonomous Body Part

Lolo Ferrari, born Eve Valois (March 4, 1962 - March 5, 2000) was a French dancer and actress billed as "the woman with the largest breasts in the world", though their size was artificially achieved.

Encouraged by her husband, Ferrari underwent numerous plastic surgery operations to create a 180-cm (71-inch) silicone-enhanced bust (22 enlargements, a Guinness world record) and to alter her facial appearance making her resemble a cross between Pamela Anderson and Brigitte Bardot. The Guinness Book of Records says each of her breasts weighed 2.8 kg (6 lb 2 oz) and contained 3 litres of serum. She had to wear a specially engineered brassiere size 54 J, and as a result of her many surgeries she suffered from a number of medical afflictions and lived with a heavy regimen of drugs.

Procedures had by Ferrari were said to have included:

6 rhinoplasties

4 surgeries on her mouth

Silicone injections to her forehead

Silicone injections to both cheeks

Silicone injections to the mouth

10–15 breast augmentations (implants)

On the morning of March 5, 2000, the day following her 38th birthday, Ferrari was found dead at her home in Grasse in the Alpes-Maritimes département on the French Riviera, apparently the victim of a self-induced prescription drug overdose. According to statements made by Eric Vigne, her husband, who had found her body, she had been planning her own funeral, and a few days prior to her death had visited an undertaker and picked out a white coffin, saying she wished to be buried in a pink ballroom gown, with her favourite white teddy-bear.

Shortly before her death, Ferrari is said to have expressed interest in having her implants removed.
