Implants in the model industry - all-natural girls have felt the pressure of the plastic look for decades: Back in the mid-seventies, teenage girls were shelling out for breast enlargement operations to improve their modelling prospects: "The nubile girls believe bigger breasts will give them a better chance for a glamour career. They have frightened established models who have had uplift operations to stave off competition from the adolescent rivals. Mrs. Billie North, head of a leading model agency, says she never recommends the operation. 'Too much is made these days of large breasts. They have been over-commercialized,' she said yesterday."
