I suppose you'd have to be able to prove they were for a business use, and depending on the auditor could probably get away with it.
But:
A judge ruled that an exotic dancer could write off her implants as deductions. They were ruled as stage props according to Reuters and ABCNews.
A Tax Court ruled that stripper Chesty Love could take a business deduction for these because they were not suitable for normal street wear!

Reportedly they are 56 double F's See Below:
The specific IRS Letter Ruling about "professional sized" breast implants being ruled as a legal business expense deduction is IRS vs. Cynthia Hess (a.k.a. Chesty Love). The tax court judge ruled that IF the size of the breast implants was large enough that no girl would ordinarily get them for purely cosmetic reasons
(generally taken to mean larger than 1000cc), and that IF the girl worked in a business where larger breasts would have a positive effect on income (i.e. dancer, actress, model, even waitress), and that IF these breast implants were large enough in comparison to the girl's physique that they would pose more of a "burden" than a "benefit" in real life (i.e. big enough that guys spot them instantly from across the street) such that their only real value must be business related, that in such a case breast implants are an allowable business investment. As an independent contractor, you can deduct your own implants as a capital investment with a 3 year depreciation on Schedule C of the tax return.
