Plot summary

A young plastic surgery intern tires of watching exciting developments in other fields (artificial hearts, etc). He finds a current, safe type of breast implants. He just needs to convince his supervising surgeon that it will work--and find a volunteer for the first patient. They gain immense financial success as cosmetic breast-augmentation surgeries become accepted and frequented in American culture, but follow different paths. One becomes a narcissist interested in developing and implanting larger-sized implants popular with erotic dancers and female porn stars. The other continues to pursue a more serious, clinical approach for the everyday woman.—
