Hornet sting deflates woman's breast implant Women with breast implants beware: a single hornet sting might ruin your figure, a plastic surgeon in Miaoli City, Central Taiwan warned yesterday. Dr. Tseng Ting-chang said a 31-year-old woman who received breast implants three years ago visited his clinic early this week complaining that one of her breasts had deflated after a hornet sting a couple of days before. The woman said the incident took place while she was riding a scooter in the countryside, whilst wearing a low-cut dress. She took the sting in stride at first, but later was astonished to find that one of her breasts had shrunk a couple of days later. Dr. Tseng said he found saline from the woman's breast implant had leaked, apparently due to the hornet's sting. He said the woman had to undergo surgery to reconstruct her breast. Noting that the woman is quite thin and has little fat tissue under her skin, the doctor said it is possible the hornet's sting could have pierced the saline-filled sack, which is touted as being able to withstand pressure of up to 200 kilograms per square centimeter. |
