A story published on LATimes.com says Lydia Carranza’s breast implant deflated when she was shot in the chest last year, in an incident that claimed the life of her co-worker and left her with disfiguring scars.  When a man opened fire in her office, Lydia was shot twice: “The bullet fragments were millimeters from her heart and her vital organs,” said Dr. Ashkan Ghavami to the LA Times.

According to a firearms expert, the deciding factor between life and death for Lydia may have been the presence of her saline breast implant.  Of course, “don’t go getting breast enhancements as a means to deflect a possible incoming bullet,” he adds.
