Self-repairing Breasts – The Latest In Breast Augmentation?

Stem cell breast implants are rather old news in fact and every now and then reports of new developments keep surfacing.

In 2004, stem cells were first used for breast augmentation and since then there have been quite a number of applications of this surgery. Doctors believe stem cell breast implants could very well pass off for cosmetic surgery purposes due to their body enhancing nature.

The doctors at the Tokyo University medical school were the first to introduce this breast augmentation alternative. They believed it could be a veritable blessing for women who have been victims of breast cancer.

Compared to silicone breast implants, stem cell implants are yet to achieve recognition as a safe method to augment the breasts though. This is the main drawback for this breast surgery procedure.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California we always suggest patients to play safe and opt for FDA approved implant materials when considering a breast augmentation procedure.
