“It was really hard finding someone that would do it, too, because they’re breaking the code of ethics,” Jasmine told US radio station Real Radio 104.1.

“I called like 50 or 60 doctors, nobody wanted to do it. 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.”

So how would someone go about having an extra breast cosmetically added to your chest? In a Q and A session which Jasmine posted on Youtube, she said: “I got a [third] breast implant …and for a while I didn’t have an aureole but then I got a tattoo…It looks pretty natural – it almost matches my other ones.”
