Size-D Implants Saved Woman's Life: Doctor

A firearms expert says it's possible, but saline implants aren't bulletproof vests

A Beverly Hills cosmetic surgeon says a woman's size-D breast implants might have saved her life when a gunman opened fire at her office.

Lydia Carranza was working at the Simi Valley dental office July 1 when her co-worker, the gunman's wife, was shot and killed.

Carranza was just a few feet away. She survived a gunshot to the chest, but the the bullet left a scar and deflated the implant.

"She's just one lucky woman," Dr. Ashkan Ghavami told the LA Times. "I saw the CT scan. The bullet fragments were millimeters from her heart and her vital organs. Had she not had the implant, she might not be alive today."

Ghavami told the Times he will perform the reconstructive surgery at a reduced cost. He'd like implant companies to donate supplies.

But a spokeswoman for the hospital at which Carranza was treated said it's not a medical issue. "It's a ballistics issue," Kris Carraway, a spokeswoman for Los Robles Hospital & Medical Center in Thousand Oaks, told the Times. "The emergency physician who treated the patient was not aware of the breast implant having any impact or whether or not it saved her life."

An LAPD firearms instructor told the Times it's possible the implant interrupted the velocity of the bullet.

"I don't want to say a boob job is the equivalent of a bulletproof vest," Scott Reitz told the Times. "So don't go getting breast enhancements as a means to deflect a possible incoming bullet."

You’re right, cloaking device engaged.
Thanks!

Exactly my first thought. Can you imagine having your teeth cleaned and by this woman? Would they have to use some sort of special light? Seems like the Size D's would cover your face.

So, whats the problem?

Does D stand for Dolly as in Parton.

The large implants saved this woman. It is just a matter of time before a Muslim douche bag slut has C-4 inserted into her chest and levels a room full of innocent people all in the name of Satan, Muhammad.

My dental hygienist is cute. Every time I visit, I eat a whole package of Oreo cookies while I’m in the waiting room. Sometimes she has to cancel the rest of the afternoon’s appointments.

"When my wife sees a woman with obvious implants, she scoffs that "they are not real".......I can't tell her that I really don't care"

Not sure we all agree with you. They might be nice to look at under a sweater but some of them look grotesque, like swollen cantaloupes. The cleavage looks phony, and have you ever felt them? Like caressing an extra-large softball. Definitely a turnoff.

Here is an article on that exact subject posted earlier this month here on FR.

The whole point is that I am married....hence, looking is all I can do!

All American women serving in the Armed Forces should get DD implants, if they choose. For safety’s sake

Sounds like this could be medically necessary from now on. All insurance should pay for it, and every woman will be required to have them.

[BJClinton]

Just eat more pizza and get breast implants, you’ll be fine.

Touche.
