Liposuction and Nose Jobs in the 1920s
In the 1920s liposuction and nose jobs started taking off in California prisons. Often they would essentially chloroform somebody sheets so often they would have some of the other prisoners hold the patient down just in case you know they woke up. There aren't many complaints in this period that I could find even though for instance one of the nose jobs they essentially took a broom handle against somebody's nose and like smashed it then filled in a bit of a depression with something from a toothbrush handle.
