Media personality Mia Khalifa recounts how breast implants saved her life in 2018.
On her Twitter account, Khalifa retweeted before-and-after photos of a Washington Capitals playoff game against Tampa Bay Lightning in 2018 from a fan account, wherein a 170g hockey puck hit her chest, deflating one of her implants.
Khalifa described the incident as a “65MPH slapshot in the chest,” adding that her implant saved her life.

In 2018, Khalifa said she needed to go through surgery after the incident as the puck may have ruptured her implant.
