Just out of interest......
Does anyone know who the first woman was to have a boob job, when and who was the surgeon ? I'm just interested to know as it must have been a scary experience, not being able to know if the changes in her breasts were normal. Sorry it's a bit of a random question.

In 1961, the American plastic surgeons Thomas Cronin and Frank Gerow and the Dow Corning Corporation developed the first silicone breast prosthesis; the first augmentation mammoplasty was in 1962.
Wiki doesn't say who she is though.

Re: Just out of interest......
Breast implants first appeared in clinical circles in 1960. Two years
later, Timmie Jean Lindsey became the first woman to undergo breast
augmentation surgery using silicone breast implants.
The 30 years following Timmie Jean Lindsey's successful breast
augmentation saw endless courtroom battles over the safety of silicone
breast implants. When a silicone implant ruptures, medical-grade
silicone is absorbed into a woman's system. The effects of this
absorption are unclear.
Industry officials, consumer-advocate groups and interested third
parties have tapped experts in all applicable medical fields to study
the side effects of silicone breast implants. None of these studies
could produce compelling evidence that either confirmed or denied a
connection between silicone implants and illness. A congressional
hearing held on the matter failed to turn up any conclusive results.

It's probably the reason why she thought she had so many problems - She didn't have all of us to calm her down

There is a made for tv movie called Breastmen that is all about the story of how implants came to be. It has the guy who played Ross on Friends staring in it.
