Artificial breast implants will soon be a passé. Thanks to a team of scientists in London, you can enlarge your breasts 'naturally' with the help of new stem cell therapy. This treatment will boost a woman's cup while reducing her stomach fat.

Artificial breast implants will soon be a passé. You would soon be able to enlarge your breasts 'naturally', thanks to scientists who have developed a new stem cell therapy which can boost a woman's cup while reducing her stomach fat.

A team at Princess Grace Hospital in Britain has come up with the treatment that involves extracting stem cells from the spare fat on belly or thighs and growing them in a woman's breasts, The Sunday Times reported.

In fact, during the process, cells are isolated from the excess fat on stomach or thighs and then the concentrated stem cells are mixed with another batch of fat before finally being injected into the breast. However, it could take several months for the breast to achieve the desired size and shape.

According to the scientists, an increase of one cup size is likely with the potential for larger gains as the technique actually improves.

Professor Kefah Mokbel, who is leading the team, said: "Implants are a foreign body. They are associated with long- term complications and require replacement. They can also leak and cause scarring.

"This (new technique) is a very exciting advance in breast surgery. They (breasts treated with stem cells) feel more natural because this tissue has the same softness as the rest of the breast."

A trial, involving ten breast cancer patients who had their assets removed, has already started in Britain. Another project is underway to check the technique on healthy women seeking breast enlargement.

According to the scientists, the stem cell treatment may be suitable only for modest increases in breast size, but will conduct research to find out whether larger augmentations can be achieved.

"We are optimistic we can easily achieve an increase of one cup size. We can't say yet if we can achieve more. That may depend on the stem cells we can harvest," Mokbel said.
