Natural Breast Implants From Your Own Fat

CSB — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 15:30:44 +0000

A new cosmetic surgery technique could see unwanted fat from other areas of a patient’s body being used to form natural breast implants.

Dubbed the ‘two-in-one’ operation, cosmetic surgeons first remove fat from unwanted areas such as the thighs, stomach and hips and transplant this fat into the breast area to enhance and enlarge the breasts.

The cosmetic surgery will be available in the UK for the first time early next year thanks to cosmetic surgery company the Harley Medical Group.

Fat grafting is not a new technique however it hasn’t been widely available for cosmetic surgery patients. Over the past few years, various studies have looked at the results of both UK and US patients to determine whether the results of such fat grafting operations are long-term of not. The results so far have been encouraging and thus it is hoped that the technique will become more widespread soon.

With many people still worried over the safety of breast implants, it is expected that the fat grafting cosmetic surgery operation will be extremely popular and will soon become one of the most requested forms of breast enlargement.

Initial results show that patients are able to increase the size of their breasts by up to three cup sizes in just one operation, whilst also having some of their unwanted fat removed.

Grow Your Own Breast Implants

New advances have been made in breast enlargements which allows stem cells taken from a patient’s stomach or thigh to grow new breast tissue and create a natural breast implant. At present, the patient can only go up by one cup size however as the surgery develops, it is expected that bigger augmentations will be possible in the future.

About a dozen British women have already had their breasts repaired using the stem cell technology after they have had cancerous cells removed. Professor Kefah Mokbel, a consultant breast surgeon at the London Breast Institute is now planning to test the procedure on 30 healthy volunteers to evaluate the procedure.

Surgeons are excited about the prospect of this cosmetic surgery as it is believed that the stem cell technique will produce a more natural look than a breast implant using silicone implants. The breast tissue itself will also feel more natural. There are also the health implications – there are some questions over many implants as they are associated with long-term complications and may need replacing over time; there is also a chance the implants might leak and also cause scarring.

The downside of the stem cell technique is that it can only produce volume and not lift or firmness hence why patients are currently only being offered a one cup size increase.

The technique itself involves removing fat from the stomach and/or thigh and extracting the stem cells in it. These stem cells are then mixed with other fat and injected into the breast. The breast then starts to increase in size over the next few months.

In the past, plain fat has been injected into the breasts to try and increase their size however it was found that it was difficult to maintain a good blood supply to the fat. By using stem cells, new blood vessels are encouraged to grow, thus this problem is overcome.

One Olsen twin considering plastic surgery?

CSB — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 21:56:56 +0000

Recent rumours have it that Olsen twins, Mary-Kate and Ashley, are not seeing eye to eye on a cosmetic surgery issue.

The twins, who have recently returned to the spotlight to promote their new book, Influence, are said to be arguing over breast implants. It is understood that Ashley is considering having her breasts augmented and is attempting to persuade her sister to have surgery at the same time so that it is not so obvious that she has had cosmetic surgery.

Mary-Kate has been rumoured to have refuted the idea, leaving Ashley with a dilemma – should she get the breast implants and end up looking a lot more curvier than her sister, thereby announcing to the world she has had cosmetic surgery, or should she stay the way she is.

Larger breasts without surgery?

CSB — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 14:08:22 +0000

Until recently, women who wanted larger breasts had to undergo cosmetic surgery and implants. However, thanks to a new filler called the Macrolane filler, larger breasts are just an injection away.

Macrolane can also help those who are thinking about going under the knife in order to get bigger breasts, but are unsure about their decision and would like to ‘see’ the results before they go ahead with the operation. Macrolane is only temporary therefore the results fade over time.

The injection itself contains hyaluronic acid and is a thick, dense fluid. After a local anaesthetic has been applied, a thick needle is inserted deep into the breast tissue and the filler injected. The entire procedure takes around 30 minutes with immediately noticeable results – the chest area should appear fuller and patients can expect to increase their breasts by about one cup size.

There may be some swelling and bruising present after the injections, and the breasts may feel tender for a few days after the cosmetic treatment. The injections last for around a year to 18 months therefore will need to be topped up. Currently, it costs around $2,000 per session.
