Breast implants saves woman after Hezbollah attack

Tue Aug 15, 8:07 AM ET

JERUSALEM (AFP) - One Israeli woman has received an unexpected boost from her breast implants during the Lebanon war -- the silicone embeds saved her life during a Hezbollah rocket attack, a doctor said.

"This is an extraordinary case, but it's a fact that the silicone implants prevented her from a more serious and deeper wound," Jacky Govrin, of the hospital in Nahariya that treated the woman, told army radio Tuesday.

"The young woman went through surgery two years ago to have a larger chest," he said. "During the war she was wounded in the chest by shrapnel" that got stuck in the implants instead of penetrating further.

The woman did not emerge from her ordeal completely unscathed, however.

"The shrapnel was removed but the implant had to be replaced," Govrin said.

Maybe they should use Kevlar implants in war zones.

This is sooo cool on so many levels. I hope she had the sense to go up a couple more cup sizes.

Why can't the safety nuts be as concerned about this as they are about helmet laws? We need some government regulations requiring this important safety equipment.

So when I tell my wife to augment her breasts, I'm really thinking of her safety??

No, wait, I didn't mean that as a question. Let me say it again:
