Can Liposuction Enhance My Bust?

When most people think of liposuction (also referred to as lipoplasty and suction lipectomy)

, they think of making things smaller. For the most part, they would be right. Usually, the surgery is used to remove excess fat from the body and smooth over curves. However, recent advances in technology are making it more and more possible for the fat removed during surgery to be recycled and moved to another area of the body, thus enlarging and enhancing that area.

Understandably, one of the biggest areas of interest for this sort of fat transfer is the breasts. Today's stars all seem to be impossibly skinny and yet amply bosomed. A lot of women want to live up to that hollywood ideal, and the idea of moving fat from undesirable places to desirable locations like the breasts is very appealing.

The idea of transfering fat from one part of the body to another is by no means new. The first recorded attempt came in Europe during the 1800's. The idea has been similarly alluring throughout the last half of the 1900's. However, for the most part, these attempts have not had ideal results. A large amount of the fat can be killed during the removal process, and even more can die after being replaced back into the body. This fat death led to uneven results, hardened lumps in the target area, and additional complications. In the breast, these lumps can cause problems with cancer detection.

However, newer techniques may be making it more possible to achieve a larger bust without the complications and cancer risks of previous techniques. New methods of liposuction fat harvesting do a better job of keeping the fat alive. For example, the water jet method and the custom acoustic method can remove fat more gently, which gives it a much higher survival rate. With some of the newest techniques, as much as 90% of the fat can be kept alive.

Recent advances even claim to be able to solve the problem of cell death inside the body. New techniques convert some of the fat cells into stem cells before they are re-injected back into the body. In theory, this should allow the newly inserted fat to develop a new blood supply and remove the problem of fat death.

However, these technologies are still experimental, and it is not entirely certain whether or not they will live up to their initial claims.
