Breast implants save woman from point blank gunshot

27 February 2010 [10:51] - TODAY.AZ
If there was ever a question over the safety of breast implants then this will prove critics wrong, as a woman's silicone D cup's saved her life from gunshot.
When a gunman opened fire in a Beverly Hills dentist office, Lydia Carranza was shot by a semi-automatic assault rifle at point blank range.

The gun was held directly to her heart but luckily her breast implants took the force of the blow, shielding her vital organs from the bullet, the Daily Telegraph reported.

The shooter stormed into the office to shoot his wife, who was killed in the attack before he fired at Mrs Carranza.

Dr Ashkan Ghavami told the Los Angeles Times that if it hadn't been for her implants, she might not have survived the bullet.

Lydia, who has three children, underwent breast enlargement surgery some years ago to increase her B-cup to a D-cup.
