Brest Augmentation has been around for decades. The followin is a timeline to represent the different methods of breast augmentation throughout history.
1890′s: Introduction of paraffin injections
- Paraffin was injected into a women’s breast which led to future complications and is currently only performed in the Middle East
1920′s- Fat Transplants
- Fat tissue from the abdomen and buttocks was transferred to the bresasts. The fat tissue from the breasts often abosorbed the transferred tissue resulting lobsided breasts.
1940′s – Silicone Injections
- These were quite popular until there were defestating complications. This procedure is discontinued.
1962- Silicone and Saline Implants
- The implants most widely used today were invented.
2000 – FDA approves Saline Implants
2006- FDA approves Silicone Implants
I never knew that women were so interested in enhancing their breasts so many years ago. What is also very interesting is that paraffin injections are still being performed in the Middle East. Its also funny how in the 1920′s they used to use fat from ones butt, and created lopsided breasts.
I never knew breast implants went so far back. And using the fat from your butt…..I’m glad to see we have transgressed from that. I can see how that would have created lopsided breast.
That is crazy that women have always been so concerned with there self image. The 1890s was a long time ago. And its also crazy that in the 1920s, when there was a war, people were still concerned with finding ways to make womens breast bigger. That kind of makes me wonder though. Back then women werent he ones trying to invent this stuff. It was guys, they were in charge, and were the scienctist. I bet that the guys convinced their wives they needed bigger boobs so they would have lab rats to work on. haha just a thought
