Breast Augmentation Surgery

In the 1950s to the early 1970s, when James Burt performed in the majority of his love surgeries, it was not uncommon for doctors to just do stuff to patients. In 1976, he began offering it as an elective for $1,500 plus hospitalization costs. The two hour long surgery required five days in the hospital, at least a week of sitting on an inner tube and six to eight weeks without sex. A month after the book's publication, the Dayton Daily News ran an uncritical article about the surgery under the headline, local doctor develops corrective surgery.
