implants - Image 1For women who have a "slight problem" in the bust department, some scientists may have a more natural looking solution up their sleeves. Scientists in Japan claim to be able to increase the size of a woman's breast using fat and stem cells. According to them, the technique would be using fat from the stomach or thigh, this will then be enriched with stem cells, then would finally be injected.

Kotaru Yoshimura, a surgeon at the Tokyo University medical school said that more than 40 patients had been treated and that this technique aims to give the women with a more natural looking alternative compared to breast implants.

The doctor also said that this method can increase cupsize by two sizes and that there have been no serious complications in the patients. Yoshimura also added that breast enlargement using fat and stem cells did not create a lumpy effect.

For now, the Cellport Clinic Yokohama in Japan is the only medical institution offering this kind of treatment. Consultants and other experts, however, have expressed their doubts about this procedure. Some are saying that this is more of an optimistic view of a theoretical approach, but there are others who are open to exploring this procedure.
