Stem-cell technique could help women grow their own breast implants

Scientists are putting the final touches on a new stem-cell technique that may make silicone breast implants a thing of the past. The new technique will allow women to grow their own new breasts using stem cells that grow as the same type of fat cells found in breast tissue. Doctors plan to use the new approach on cancer patients who need reconstructive breast surgery, at first. But they foresee it eventually becoming a popular procedure for all women who want breast surgery.
