Could Liposuction Be An Alternative To Breast Augmentation?

Recently, there have been a fair amount of press regarding the negative aspects of breast augmentations

. Breast implants can have a number of side-effects and negative aspects. Some women are worried about looking natural after their procedure. The internet is full of people speculating on which hollywood actress has gotten a boob job, and it's equally full of people pointing out unnatural or unpleasing aspects of star's chest work.

A number of other women are concerned about the possibility of having an unnatural feel to their breasts after their surgery. Given that a foreign body is being implanted into the body, this concern makes sense. It is very difficult to exactly recreate a natural feeling with artificial components.

A number of people are similarly concerned about the health risks posed by breast implants. For some time, doctors have expressed concerns regarding an implant's ability to create unreadable areas during a mammogram. In some cases, having an implant can interfere with cancer detection, both during mammograms and during personal self breast evaluations.

There are a number of other health risks that some people are concerned about. The FDA has removed its approval of silicone breast implants until further testing has been done. Websites such as shirleys-wellness-cafe.com, myimplantstory.com and breastimplantinfo.org explore the possibility of disease and other problems due to the silicone in breast implants. It is possible that saline implants can also have health ramifications, given that they have silicone in them as well.

Women have long wished that they could avoid the messy and possibly dangerous route of getting implants. They have asked for years, "Why can't you just take some fat from my butt and move it to my boobs?"

For years, the answer has been simply, "Because it's impossible." Moving fat from one area of the body to another is no simple task. Typically, the fat that is moved dies fairly quickly after the procedure, which not only means that there is no increase in size, but also that there can be a number of serious and minor consequences. The death of fat cells can lead to hard, uneven lumps which neither look nor feel good. Additionally, these clumps of dead fat cells can lead to problems with cancer detection.

However, a new method of removing fat through liposuction, treating it to increase the number of stem cells in it, and then re-implanting it may be able to overcome these problems. The introduction of stem cells means that the fat can grow its own blood supply and keep itself alive. The downside? It's still new and experimental, and it comes with a hefty price tag. It typically costs somewhere between $10,000 and $20,000.
