Doctors were surprised to\nfind her \u201ccomfortable\u2026 with no distress\u201d and soon discovered that the bullet\nhad been slowed and deflected by one of her breast implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe benefits of breast augmentation are generally accepted to be on quality of life, as until recently implants had never been considered life-saving,\u201d the doctors reported in a <a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/2513826X19898821\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"womans-breast-implant-saves-her-life\" title=\"Woman\u2019s Breast Implant Deflects .40-Caliber Bullet, Saving Her Life\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">case study<\/a> published last week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBased on trajectory of bullet entry clinically and evaluation radiologically, the only source of bullet deflection of the bullet is the left breast implant. This implant overlies the heart and intrathoracic cavity and therefore likely saved the women\u2019s life,\u201d the report concludes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/active-shooter-dead-at-tulsa-dispensary\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"womans-breast-implant-saves-her-life\" title=\"Woman\u2019s Breast Implant Deflects .40-Caliber Bullet, Saving Her Life\">Active Shooter Dead At Tulsa Dispensary, Concealed Carrier Saves The Day<\/a> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The copper-jacketed .40-caliber projectile entered the woman\u2019s\nleft breast, but doctors discovered the bullet lodged in the lower portion of\nthe right breast. The woman suffered a broken rib, broken implants, and a\ngunshot wound but was otherwise unscathed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe bullet entered the skin on the left side first, and then ricocheted across her sternum into the right breast and broke her rib on the right side,&#8221; surgeon Giancarlo McEvenue told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2020\/04\/21\/americas\/breast-implant-bullet-wound-wellness-intl-scli\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"womans-breast-implant-saves-her-life\" title=\"Woman\u2019s Breast Implant Deflects .40-Caliber Bullet, Saving Her Life\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">CNN<\/a>. &#8220;The implant caused the change in the trajectory of the bullet.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Police are still investigating the incident that caused the woman\u2019s injury. She told doctors that she felt heat and pain in her left chest while walking down the street. Looking down and seeing blood, she took herself to the local emergency department. The firearm was not recovered, and the perpetrator remains unknown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Texas Store Clerk Kills Robbery Suspect at Pawn Shop (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/store-clerk-kills-robbery-suspect-at-first-class-jewelry-and-loan\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"womans-breast-implant-saves-her-life\" title=\"Woman\u2019s Breast Implant Deflects .40-Caliber Bullet, Saving Her Life\" target=\"_blank\">Texas Store Clerk Kills Robbery Suspect at Pawn Shop<\/a> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Breast implants have been recorded saving a person\u2019s life in only a few other incidents.

The birdshot ruptured her right breast implant, but otherwise she sustained no injuries. Doctors determined that the implant had saved her life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/web.b.ebscohost.com.ezproxy.baylor.edu\/ehost\/pdfviewer\/pdfviewer?vid=1&amp;sid=0f2b30f7-cfbd-4219-800f-53e8af53d2c3%40pdc-v-sessmgr01\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"womans-breast-implant-saves-her-life\" title=\"Woman\u2019s Breast Implant Deflects .40-Caliber Bullet, Saving Her Life\" target=\"_blank\">another study<\/a>, researchers investigated the effects of breast implants on bullet velocity and lethality. They determined that a .40 S&amp;W hollow-point round fired out of a 4.5-inch barrel experiences a 20.6% decrease in penetration distance when fired through a silicone breast implant. This is due to the loss of velocity the bullet undergoes while traveling through the implant as well as the tendency of the projectile to mushroom in the implant before it enters the body.
