Did Breast Implants Save Her Life?
Lydia Carranza of Beverley Hills escaped death, and she may want to thank her breast implants.
Carranza was working at a dental office last year when a man came into the office and shot her and her co-worker with a semiautomatic assault rifle. Her co-worker, the wife of the gunman, was killed. Carranza was shot in the chest at point blank range and survived. (Although her D-cup size implant didn’t. It deflated.) Her cosmetic surgeon believes that if the implant had not been there, she may not have survived the bullet, fragments of which were very near her heart and vital organs. This theory is supported by an LAPD firearms instructor.
But don’t go out and get breast implants just because of this incident. Carranza may have just been lucky, since a hospital spokesperson said that the physician who treated her, “was not aware of the breast implant having any impact or whether or not it saved her life.”
This story sounds like another one four years ago about a woman whose breast implants saved her from a Hezbollah rocket attack attack in Israel. Shrapnel pierced her chest and her implants stopped it from affecting her vital organs.
Could this be a bonus for breast implants? No! Remember: breast implants aren’t life saving devices!
