Stem cells can enlarge breasts
A team of scientists from United Kingdom, led by Kefah Mokbel, found a way to use stem cells from the belly or tighs fat and use them to enlarge breasts. The technique is in its starting stages, but could be revolutionary, eventually. In May, the first ten women will undergo the procedure. Doctors predict that the method shall be comercialized within the next year, and everyone will be able to “buy” this for around 7,000 pounds.
“This is a huge advance in breast surgery,” said Mokbel. “Breasts treated with stem cells feel more natural because this tissue has the same softness as the rest of the breast.” Mokbel also said the treatment offered the potential of considerable improvement on implants: “Implants are a foreign body. They are associated with long-term complications and require replacement. They can also leak and cause scarring.”
The only flaw of this technique is that it can’t uplift the breasts, it can only enlarge them. “We are optimistic we can easily achieve an increase of one cup size. We cannot say yet if we can achieve more. That may depend on the stem cells we can harvest.”
Officials say that after performing a couple of dozen operations, they will be able to offer patients to “buy” the procedure and enlarge their breast.
