This was one of the reasons that led to Melissa Gilbert breast implants, Hollywood Life noted.

"There was a huge difference," Melissa said in the interview with ABC News. "I was wearing, like, you know, Speedo one-piece bathing suits. She was wearing all these sort of sexy bikinis and stuff. I was nowhere near that."

Feeling insecure, she tried other option to enhance her looks. Before Melissa Gilbert breast implants were placed, she put on padded bra at the age of 16 while she was doing "Little House on the Prairie." She admitted she was a late bloomer so she decided to get saline implants first, then silicone according to Fox News.
