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."

Sure, why not. If obesity can protect some folks from bullets, then why not implants. A bullet is only going through so much tissue and fluid and so the more that you have for it to go through before getting to vital organs, the more chance you have of it not reaching the vital organs.

I thought you were going to say that the gunman got distracted by the pair of D's he was looking at.

Slowly the door opened, two 38s stared at me. She had a gun too.

I ran this by her, and I got a bar of soap thrown at me. Maybe I shouldve waited until she was out of the tub before I asked... Or not... I probably wouldve had something bigger thrown at me... Like maybe, her laptop...

Surgeon: Miss Flatt, I suggest a Size 9.

Miss Flatt: No way, doctor! The 9mm is a wimp. Gimme a couple of 38s.
