Dolly Parton has been an entertaining celebrity known for her curves. Relatively recently she admitted to the world that she had breast implants although to most plastic surgeons that had been obvious for years.

In 2002, she told a European magazine that her first breast implant surgery was in the 1980s at which time she lost weight and didn’t like what it did to her bust. She has had them done roughly every ten years afterward most recently to downsize (mis-represented as a “reduction” online) due to pain. She was already known for her curvy figure before the surgery, but got increased attention as she increased her bust size further.

Ms Parton is an excellent example of a woman with larger implants over a thirty year period and the related need for “maintenance” operations over that time. Dolly is also uncommon as a celebrity in that she has been pretty forthcoming on the issue (at least over the recent years) which has likely helped younger women looking into cosmetic surgery with real world experience.
