Women get implants for a number of reasons, but the thought that they might one day save their life is probably not one of them. Yet that’s exactly what happened to one Beverly Hills grandmother when a coworker’s husband ran into their office one afternoon and shot her in the chest.
Lydia Carranza had implants put in a few years ago to take her from a B cup to a D cup. Jaime Paredes burst into the dental office where she worked and killed his wife before turning on her.
The surgeon who operated on her told the LA Times: “She’s just one lucky woman. The bullet fragments were millimetres from her heart and her vital organs. Had she not had the implant, she might not be alive today.”
Can you believe that? Talk about a good investment! Does this mean Heidi Montag is basically invincible now?

some “fat” lady, her words not mine got shot and her fat stopped the bullet from hitting vital organs, and she said that she will get as fat as possible to prevent anymore bullets. && the woman whos weave stopped the bullet from entering into her skull.
Amazing if you ask me

B to a D? I can think of easier ways to die with that, rather than a bullet shot through my chest.
guest
well, if the gunman shot her in the back, then she is dead. unless she got a implants on her back too
what about a bulletproof vest
what if he aimed for her head. oh the possibilities lol
guest

guest
Wow that’s a scary story.. I remember hearing a few years back that while a girl was mowing the lawn she ran over something metal and it shot out back at her, and hit her in the boob. If she had not been wearing a padded bra, she would have died.
guest
Erm, my body doesn’t need surgical “improvement”
guest

You’re a lot more likely to die from your plastic surgery than to be saved by it.
