Woman's acupuncture treatment goes bust
January 11 2005 at 06:31PM
Taipei - A shy Taiwanese woman saw her D-cup bust
shrink back to an A-cup after receiving an acupuncture
treatment for pimples on her face, a doctor said on
Tuesday.
The woman, in her late 20s, who had saline implant
surgery to enlarge her breasts, recently went to an
acupuncture clinic to treat her facial pimples, said
Dr Chen Huan-tang of Taiwan's Chang Gung Memorial
Hospital.
"The patient was told by the acupuncturist that
needling would be done on her left breast, but being
too shy to tell the truth, the woman just let the
acupuncturist pierce her implant chest," said Dr Chen.
"Weeks later, she found her left breast shrank back to
A-cup, a contrast to her D-cup breast on the right,
and she finally came to us for help," said Dr Chen,
who declined to identify the woman.
He said the small acupuncture needles damaged the
saline-filled implant, resulting in leaking of the
solution and hence shrinkage of her left breast.
"Fortunately, saline solution is not harmful to the
body, or she would have suffered even more," the
doctor said.
But he said it took much bigger efforts to refill the
left breast to the same size as the right one. -
