This year is the 50th anniversary of silicone breast implants. And believe it or not, the first
woman to get implants is still alive... and still has her original implants. Her name is Timmie
Jean Lindsey, she's 80 years old, and she's a great-grandmother.
In 1962, when Timmie was 30, she went to a hospital in Houston, Texas because she wanted
a few rose tattoos removed from her chest. Her doctor was Frank Gerow, the man who
invented implants... and he asked Timmie if she was interested.
She was. Gerow performed the operation, and Timmie went from a B-cup to a C-cup. She
says, quote, "It made men more aware of me. More men would whistle at me."
She says she never suffered any side effects from her implants.... although they finally
started to sag around age 70. They've also calcified a little bit, so occasionally they get sore.
But she says she has no regrets.
And while she loves that breast reconstruction can be used to help women who have had
mastectomies, she's not a huge fan of women getting ENORMOUS implants. Quote, "I really
think surgeries that go overboard are a cry for attention."
