I think we reported on this several months ago, when this idea was still being considered in its infancy/conception stage, but there are now clinical trials going on for a “natural breast implant” that allows a woman’s body to generate more localized breast tissue on her own using implanted stem cells.  Hmm…..I’m not sure if this is incredibly scary or a good thing. 

The revolutionary technique, using the controversial method of stem cell utlization, which has been the subject of much religious discussion and banning here in the US, especially under religiously undertones president Bush since his occupation of the White House, actually was pioneered in Japan, and is currently being tested on women there. 

There is however, sort of a disclaimer that this product has nowhere near been tested for long term safety or effectiveness, so it sounds as if it may be a long ways off from any sort of FDA approval here in the more stringent and cautious US.  As far as a breast implant alternative though, this does sound promising, it just seems to be sort of intimidating, since you’re manipulating stem cells, but this could all be a very very good thing for humanity in the end, and I’m not talking about breast implants but more profound health issue resolutions.

Doctors, even plastic surgeons, however are saying that the results they’ve seen so far with these naturally generated breast “implants” are pretty impressive, and they look forward to more long term studies and safety studies.  Not only can this stem cell technology, which uses stem cells found in fat tissue, which is what a woman’s breast is composed of, help to generate new breast tissue for women wanting natural breast enhancement, but it may also have future use to regenerate facial tissue lost due to trauma and also to help regenerate breast tissue for breast cancer patients if all goes well. 

The way the process would work so far is that doctors would harvest stem cells from fat on other areas of the woman’s body, and implant them more locally in the breast so they could take over and grow more tissue in the breast for naturally enhancing the breasts over a period of time.  What is that time?  Nothing was really described so far regarding the time needed, but it was stated that an adequate blood supply would need to be established for the new breast fat cells to “take root” if the process were to be successful.
