\"\"<\/a>Doctors are calling it a freak occurrence.\u00a0 They\u2019re referring to a case where a woman\u2019s breast implant disappeared.\u00a0 It sounds strange, but it\u2019s true.<\/p>\n

How it happened<\/strong>
\nA breast cancer<\/a> survivor had recently had a double mastectomy and had breast implants put in to replace the breasts she lost to the disease.\u00a0 In an effort to stay in shape, this woman went to Pilates class when she all of sudden she noticed one of her breasts wasn\u2019t there anymore.<\/p>\n

She was doing a Valsalva maneuver, a breathing technique in which a person takes a deep breath and holds it while bearing down.\u00a0 The pressure that built up in her chest during this position apparently forced her breast implant through the slots of her ribs rage.<\/p>\n

The 59-year-old woman did not complain of any pain, just surprise, wondering where the heck her breast went.<\/p>\n

Doctors explain how this is possible<\/strong>
\nIn this case, the woman had a few other health issues in play.\u00a0 \u201cThis is not exactly going to happen to your average fake-breasted Pilates lover,\u201d says Dr. Anthony Youn, an MSNBC contributor that commented on the case.\u00a0 \u201cThis woman’s had recently undergone a surgery to repair her heart\u2019s mitral valve, a procedure that typically involves some separating of the muscles that run between the ribs.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This surgery left the area more vulnerable to the bizarre movement of the implant. “The weakened scar tissue was easily torn, and the strength of the pectoralis muscle pushed the implant deep into her chest,” Youn explains.<\/p>\n

The woman did seek medical help at Johns Hopkins.\u00a0 She had no immediate medical complications, no pain of shortage of breath.\u00a0 Doctors were able to retrieve the breast implant<\/a> and put it back in place.<\/p>\n

The case is outlined in the New England Journal Medicine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
