Grow breasts with belly fat - SEE! This is what we're missing

Tummy fat 'can grow new breasts'

It takes six months for the results to appear, scientists say
Fat from the tummy or bottom could be used to grow new breasts in a treatment which could be carried out in an hour - or a lunch break.
Scientists say they can create a fat mixture with concentrated stem cells, which, when injected into the breast, apparently encourages tissue to grow.

The therapy, detailed in Chemistry and Industry Magazine, could help cancer patients who have had mastectomies.

And if licensed, it may rival silicone for those seeking bigger breasts.

Using fat from the patient's own body to rebuild other areas is not a novel idea, but such reconstructions often fail as the fat is simply reabsorbed.

1. I've long been saying it would be cool -

to remove the fat from one's thighs and inject it into one's breasts.

I guess I wasn't the only one. ;)

7. I read about autologous fat transplantation about 20 years ago

So it's been on the table, as it were, for quite a while. IIRC there was some concern at the time that it might result in small hardened masses that could be mistaken for cancerous tissue.

Haven't really read much about it since then.

3. The largest trial so far has involved 19 women in Japan

I have 3 words...

4. Hey anything anyone wants to do with their bodies is OK by me

But why is it that before we cure cancer and AIDS, we find ways to cure

1 - Baldness
2 - Impotence
3 - Smaller Breasts

????

5. Yeah, we can cure erectile disfunction....

but yet, somehow, those cures for cancer and AIDS still elude us.

Nice to have priorities.

8. Well, consider the relative difficulty of each

I suspect that it's easier to improve/alter blood flow than it is to combat an aggressive and elusive disease. And if a research team specializes in drugs affecting blood flow to erectile tissues, then they might simply not have a useful contribution to make in the fight against HIV.

Not saying that more priority shouldn't be given to AIDS, cancer, or other horrific illnesses, but it's not as simple as saying that one treatment should be developed instead of another.

6. Interesting. Is reproductive allure a more powerful drive than life itself?
