Thanks to her ‘chicken fillet’ bra pads, a woman with a flat chest narrowly escaped death in a terrifying car accident.
While driving home through heavy rain, Lisa Somerville lost control of her vehicle and collided head-on with another car.
At the age of 28, she had to be extricated from her vehicle by firefighters and was immediately transported to the hospital, where she was treated for a punctured lung, four cracked ribs, and a broken nose.
Doctors later informed the mother of one that had she not been wearing silicone implants to enhance her AAA bust, she would almost certainly not have survived.
The implants acted as a cushion, much like airbags, absorbing the shock of the impact to her chest.
Lisa mentioned: “I endured a punctured lung and cracked ribs, but thanks to my chicken fillets, I’m still here.”
“They told me it was likely my ribs would have pierced my heart if I hadn’t been wearing them.”
Even more fortuitously for Lisa, who lives in Kirkintilloch near Glasgow, Scotland, she was “doubling up” that night—wearing two implants on each side.
She recounted: “Stupidly, I wasn’t wearing my seatbelt while driving home from work when I lost control and crashed on a slick, wet road.
“I was in a precarious situation, but I was still alive. As the doctors removed my clothing to assess the injuries, they discovered the skewered chicken fillets inside my bra.
“Because I was ‘doubling up,’ wearing four in total, that extra protection ultimately saved my life.”
As a receptionist, Lisa had always disliked wearing the fillets, which she had been using since her teenage years, and wished for larger breasts.
However, she expressed: “I couldn’t believe the good fortune, or the irony that something I had long detested ended up saving my life.
“For the first time ever, I was grateful for them that night.”
After recuperating from the accident, Lisa ultimately made the decision to undergo surgery for a 30E breast enhancement.
She stated: “Now, I’m ten times more confident and happier than I have ever been. I’m even celebrating my new boobs’ anniversary because I love them so much.
“But I’ll always hold a debt of gratitude to the chicken fillets that saved my life.”
