Stem cells to grow bigger breasts


Sarah-Kate Templeton, Health Editor

A STEM cell therapy offering “natural” breast enlargement is to be made available to British women for the first time.

The treatment could boost cup size while reducing stomach fat. It involves extracting stem cells from spare fat on the stomach or thighs and growing them in a woman’s breasts. An increase of one cup size is likely, with the potential for larger gains as the technique improves.

A trial has already started in Britain to use stem cells to repair the breasts of women who have had cancerous lumps removed. A separate project is understood to be the first in Britain to use the new technique on healthy women seeking breast enlargement.

Professor Kefah Mokbel, a consultant breast surgeon at the London Breast Institute at the Princess Grace hospital, who is in charge of the project, will treat 10 patients from May. He predicts private patients will be able to pay for the procedure within six months at a cost of about £6,500.

7. We all need to be careful not to be unrealistic about what stem cells can do.

Or how quickly we can make them do what we want them to do.

This sort of idiotic journalism is just going to pointlessly raise the hopes of people who do believe in the magical stem cell miracle.

8. reporting on repairing the damage of breast cancer is idiotic journalism?

Have you ever seen what a mastectomy looks like? They're claiming in grows breast tissue successfully and they're willing to try it as cosmetic treatment to enlarge breasts which means no more breast implants. No more surgery. Should the reporters not write about this because of the unrealistic hopes this will cause? C'mon!
