Breast Men
Breast Men is a 1997 HBO films presentation starring David Schwimmer and Chris Cooper. The film gives a rather comedic spin to the story of how the modern
breast implant
was invented and developed. Although the film did not receive much critical acclaim, it is still a good source of research and history regarding the evolution of
breast augmentation surgery.
Breast Men Movie FactsThe Bottom Line on Breast MenThe movie does an excellent job of portraying the birth of what would become a huge international industry. The historical facts are not exact, but are close enough for laymen to appreciate. The storyline is entertaining and there is no particular point of view supported by the filmmakers. The story does explain some of the reasons for the Dow debacle and how saline became such a popular choice due to the temporary death of silicone implants in America. The movie also comments about how revision surgeries became a huge economic boon for many doctors, even though their primary practice of implanting silicone prostheses was forbidden. I recommend watching the film for a humorous look at a very serious time in the history of cosmetic surgery.Breast Plastic Surgery Interactive Forum Breast Men to Breast Implants Home 6/16/08 Revised 5/11/09
