Breast implants are credited with saving a South Florida woman’s life after she was attacked with a pocket knife.

The 41-year-old woman was attacked by her ex-fiancé’s new girlfriend, 22-year-old Amy Winter. Winter attacked the woman outside of the unidentified male’s Melbourne apartment. Winter first scratched the woman’s car before stabbing the woman repeatedly in the chest. The woman’s new $6,000 saline breast implants protected the knife from entering her heart. The woman received the breast implants three months ago, after breaking up with her fiancé.

Winter was arrested and charged with assault.

As for the breast implants, “If this saves lives, there’s nothing wrong with passing a law that everyone should have breast prosthesis,” joked the woman’s cosmetic surgeon.
