Woman shot in chest but saved by silicone implants

A Brazilian woman, shot in crossfire between police and drug dealers, was saved by her silicone breast implants.

Doctors said the silicone had slowed the bullet up enough to prevent it from causing her a serious injury.

Jane Selma Soares was caught up in shooting between police officers and drug traffickers in Rio de Janeiro.

She told Las Ultimas Noticias newspaper that even though she tried to hide, a bullet hit her in the chest.

When she got to a nearby hospital doctors realised her implants had stopped the bullet entering her body further.

The doctor who treated her said: "If there was no silicone the bullet could have reached a vital organ causing serious damage."

A plastic surgeon was called in to fix the damage and took the opportunity to increase the size of Mrs Soares' breasts with more silicone.

She said: "I'm twice happy, first because my prosthesis saved my life and also because now I look even more beautiful."

Scar tissue galore
 
Unfortunately, this article is lacking details...such as the size of the woman's breasts before the shooting and after the shooting 🙂

I'm curious as to how much silicone is required for stopping bullets! 😀
 
My girlfriend has been contemplating implants. I'll have to tell her about this added bonus.

"You'll be safer! It's like having built-in body armor!"

I thought silicone was bad for you and that saline was the way to go?

They might be older implants before the manufactures stopped making silicone implants and switched to saline.

I would have to call BS. A BB gun could penetrate those implants unless hers were reinforced with kevlar.

Nobody said it stopped it. But anything a bullet runs into before hitting flesh can slow it enough to help prevent more serious injury.
