There are several side effects that can occur with the silicone or saline filled breast implants. These implants can leak leading to additional surgeries. Replacement is often necessary although the lifespan of the implants varies depending on several factors. The natural augmentation method is seen as a more permanent fix.

Loss of sensation is not a problem using natural augmentation methods whereas it does affect some patients who opt for the saline or silicone implants. There is a less invasive procedure done in the case of natural augmentation, leading to less complication with breast function post procedure.

In addition, a traditional mammogram will not work for saline or silicone implant augmentation. The medical staff performing the mammogram will need to adjust for the implants by taking a different view. Even with this third view, there is still a higher incidence of false negatives on mammograms with women who have breast implantation verses those who don’t. However, the disease stage at which breast cancer is detected is not significantly different according to studies conducted.

There is not much data published on the difference in cost between the silicone and saline implants verses the stem cell assisted augmentation. Those details can be determined when a practitioner is contacted. Because the stem cell assisted augmentation method uses all natural components, the recovery time is much shorter than the recovery time using the silicone or saline implants. This is a factor when determining overall costs involved since time is money.

Finally, there exist dual benefits from the stem cell assisted natural augmentation method. Unwanted fat tissue is removed from one site of the body where it is a nuisance and transplanted to the breast area where it benefits the patient. It could very well fix two problems in one surgery making for a win-win scenario.

Women have often asked their cosmetic surgeons in jest whether they could relocate the fat tissue in their stomach or thighs to their breasts. While this method has been tried, often times the result was less than optimal, forcing surgeons to resort to silicone or saline implants. These artificial breast enlargement techniques resulted in leaks and other discomfort as a result of a foreign object being placed in the body.

With stem cell breast augmentation, these issues no longer apply. Adult stem cells in fatty tissue can be harvested, processed and recombined from the patient’s own fat, then inserted into the breast area. Since the cells are from the patient’s own body, the chances of rejection are extremely slim. They do not impede mammograms, and can improve breast size by one or two cup sizes without the spurious look that is so common with other more invasive procedures. Like all stem cells, adult stem cells can make identical copies of themselves for prolonged periods, and can morph themselves into any specialized function. The process is completely natural and is perfect for patients who have lost tone due to pregnancy, aging, or nursing. Healing is also expedited as the natural cell releases anti-inflammatory substances to strengthen and tighten the breast.

Some patients even go so far as undergoing liposuction now, then depositing the stem cells in storage for future use. These stem cells can not only be used for future stem cell breast augmentation, they can also be used for facial or other forms of cosmetic surgery. In fact, adult stem cells derived from adipose tissue can also be used to repair damaged heart muscle, regenerate body parts, and repair damaged organs and nerves.

Fat transfer breast augmentation has been gaining attention for being a more natural alternative for breast enhancement. By using fat derived stem cells, the breast augmentation process produces a more natural appearance while still increasing breast size. Stem cells used in this procedure release anti-inflammatory substances that help the body to heal, which can speed recovery times. Stem cells may also help skin to tighten over the breast, making the augmentation appear more natural and keep the skin firm.

Another benefit to fat transfer breast augmentation over traditional breast augmentation is that as liposuction is performed to harvest the fat and fat derived stem cells. This can help to reduce body fat in areas that may need work. The substances collected during the harvesting procedure may also be stored for future cosmetic procedures, providing even further benefits. Fat transfer breast augmentations also do not interfere with mammogram results the way that traditional implants can. This can leads to increased awareness and preventative health care to take place.

The recovery period for traditional breast implant augmentation is between five to fourteen days while fat transfer breast augmentation has a shorter recovery period, often 48 hours. This can allow patients to return to their regular schedules faster than through traditional augmentation methods. There may also be reduced inflammation and soreness with fat transfer augmentation compared to traditional augmentations. Results may vary between patients but on average patients report more natural results with fewer complications. Reduced pain levels have also been observed using fat transfer augmentation.

The procedure is considered safer than implants, since the injection consists of natural materials, and cannot rupture or shift position in the way implants sometimes do. In addition, the look and feel of the breasts are more natural, making it less obvious to anyone but you that you’ve had work done. It’s only a matter of time before natural augmentation becomes the standard enhancement procedure, reducing risk and cost for women everywhere.

While American women come in all different colors, shapes, and sizes, there are a few things virtually all women share, including common insecurities over physical appearance. While a survey of women lists weight and skin as the most common concerns regarding physical appearance, breast size and shape isn’t far behind. It’s a common concern; American women are applauded for being thin, in shape, and reducing body fat, and yet a natural result of weight loss and muscle tone is smaller breast size. It makes sense, as breasts are mostly made up of fat tissue and deposits, and it’s difficult to lose fat elsewhere while maintaining a larger breast size.

As a result, many women turn to cosmetic surgery, and it shows. One in four American women admits to having implants, guaranteeing that no amount of diet and exercise will result in a flatter chest. However, cosmetic surgery is expensive, painful, and comes with a certain amount of risk, as any surgery does. In addition, many women are not completely pleased with the results, citing the unnatural look and feel of implants. Men also offer mixed opinions on implants, and of women who choose to get them to enhance their appearance. So, if there are so many mixed reviews on breast implants, why are they still so popular?

The popularity of implants is largely due to the fact that a substitute hasn’t yet been found. If there were a less expensive, less risky, more natural path to breast augmentation, many women would choose it. Yet, few women know much about natural augmentation, an alternative to implants.

Women have often asked their cosmetic surgeons in jest whether they could relocate the fat tissue in their stomach or thighs to their breasts. While this method has been tried, often times the result was less than optimal, forcing surgeons to resort to silicone or saline implants. These artificial breast enlargement techniques resulted in leaks and other discomfort as a result of a foreign object being placed in the body.

For years women have undergone procedures to augment their breasts that often left them with unnatural and unsatisfying results. However, as the field of scientific study has advanced, new and less drastic methods have been developed that not only serve medical purposes, but can also improve cosmetic procedures as well. With the latest in liposuction and adult stem cell harvesting, patients can achieve natural breast enlargement through the use of their own fat.

Some patients even go so far as undergoing liposuction now, then depositing the stem cells in storage for future use. These stem cells can not only be used for future stem cell breast augmentation, they can also be used for facial or other forms of cosmetic surgery. In fact, adult stem cells derived from adipose tissue can also be used to repair damaged heart muscle, regenerate body parts, and repair damaged organs and nerves.

Many women wish they could just shift the fat that they already have in ways that would enhance their appearance. Stem cell breast augmentation is a brilliant new technique that manipulates the existing fat in ways that benefit the patient. Unwanted fat is removed, which slims the hips and thighs, while the breasts are made more large and full. The stem cells that are harvested during the liposuction procedure are injected into the breasts with the transplanted fat. It’s the stem cells that keep the fat healthy and firm and help the breasts look, feel, and move in a normal manner.

Using stem cell breast augmentation provides the benefits of breast enhancement without introducing anything new to the body. The safety concerns of silicone implants don’t exist with stem cell augmentation. The fat that is transferred is a natural part of your body’s existing system, which means that it will be assimilated by your body easily. There is also no danger of an implant leaking or rupturing at a future date. Stem cell augmentation involves a less invasive procedure. It also gives patients the ability to have a normal mammogram in the future because there is nothing but natural tissue inside the breast.

Stem cell breast augmentation begins with the removal of fat and stem cells from the hips or thighs through a pulsing water treatment. Once the fat has been removed, the stem cells will be activated through an extraction process. The activated stem cells are then injected into the breast with the desired amount of fatty tissue. After the injection, the breasts can be up to two cup sizes larger. Some patients like to use a pressure splint to hold the breasts in place while they heal and the new fat regenerates properly. Most patients are released to go back to work after 48 hours.

Todd K. Malan, M.D., board certified cosmetic surgeon, has pioneered a revolutionary new procedure, the Natural Breast Augmentation, which employs the latest technologic advances in fat harvesting, adult stem cell transfers and breast splinting technology to provide women the option of enlarging their breasts using their own fat. The technique results in breasts that look and feel smoother than conventional cosmetic surgery using implants. Stem cells enable the fat to grow its own blood supply, thus becoming an integral part of the breast rather than a foreign lump. Stem cells have the potential to change into any cells in the body; they are found in most tissues, especially fat.

Autologous fat transfer for breast augmentation and reconstruction has remained a highly debated and controversial procedure following the introduction of these techniques in the U.S. in the late 1980′s. “Yet, recent advances in fat harvesting and transfer techniques, digital mammography, and the use of adipose derived adult stem and regenerative cells necessitate a re-examination of this longstanding bias against fat transfer breast augmentation,” says Malan.

With Natural Breast Augmentation, fat is harvested and collected with Body-Jet fat harvesting device utilizing saddlebags, love handles, lower abdomen, buttocks and thighs for sites of fat donation. The procedure is unique in that we use the latest technologic advances in fat harvesting as well as adult stem cell transfers. Cell-enhanced reconstruction uses adipose fat that is a rich source of stem and regenerative cells. These stem cells are not the controversial embryonic stem cells. This new procedure uses a special process to ensure that the transplanted cells will live and adapt to the transplantation site (breasts).

After fat removal, the cells are transferred to the Stem Cell processing device which used to separate regenerative and stem cells from fat cells. The regenerative and stem cells are then washed, concentrated, and enzyme activated. The activated stem cell mixture is then combined with the fat cells and then injected into fat that is already present in the breast where it fills in and replaces tissue volume.

The injection of the fat along with the stem cells results in a permanent 250cc to 500cc overall breast size increase, allowing for a 1 or 2 bra cup size increase. A pressure splint is then used after the procedure to ensure that the fat remains in place and assists in promoting regeneration of the transferred fat and stem cells.

There are several advantages to Natural Breast Augmentation. Saline or silicone implants which are considered the standard for cosmetic breast augmentation and reconstruction show complication rates to be as high as 25% with a re-operation rate of 100% at 10 years. Additionally, implants can obscure 15-50% of normal breast tissue on screening mammography making early detection or follow-up of cancer difficult.

Fatty tissue does not exhibit reactive inflammation, rejection, or autoimmune disease. Natural Breast Augmentation results in excellent cosmetic result including a natural feel to the breasts that is reproducible and permanent. Unlike implants this procedure will not interfere with future mammograms. The procedure, performed in conjunction with liposuction allows artistic body re-contouring to complement breast augmentation for a new total-body look.

Recently, there have been many new advances made in the technology of stem cell breast augmentation, which have made new types of breast augmentation possible. More advanced methods of fat harvesting, transferring of adult stem cells, and new breast splinting technology have opened many doors that allow women to enlarge their breasts without using unnatural implants, but are instead using their own fat from a different part of the body.

The new technology has resulted in a procedure that is called Natural Breast Augmentation or Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation. The names are a reflection of the fat that the breast augmentation comes from a women taking fat from one part of the body and changing the location of the fat to the breast.

After going through Natural Breast Augmentation or Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation, the enlarge breasts appear much more natural than other types of implants. The process is also considered much safer than the process of getting implants, which is typically a fairly intensive surgery that carries many of the risks other types of surgeries carry, and also risk potential infection. Another benefit to this natural type of breast augmentation is the fact that this method means that future mammograms will not be affected by them, as the augmentation makes a women’s breasts more like natural breasts instead of placing a foreign object into the body.

While traditional implants may have been a popular choice at some period of time, stem cell augmentation is becoming increasingly popular. With stem cell augmentation, there are no foreign objects being placed into the body. An implant is a foreign object to the body and when it is place in the body, there is always the risk of rejection. With stem cell augmentation, the cosmetic surgeon will use fat that is stored on other areas of the individuals body. Therefore, their own fat is being put back into their body, just in different areas.

When an individual receives breast implants, not only is there a risk of the body rejecting the implant, there is also the risk that the implant will leak which can be extremely hazardous. With stem cell augmentation, one does not have to worry about any unnecessary leakage occurring. Another benefit to receiving a stem cell augmentation is that the look and feel of the breast will be much more natural than the look and feel of a breast augmentation using implants. While some people do not mind the look and feel of an implant, many people want their breast to look as natural as possible. The stem cell augmentation gives these people the opportunity to have a larger cup size without having the “fake boob” look.

Last but not least, the recovery period of a stem cell augmentation is quite rapid. In most cases, the individual who receives a stem cell augmentation will be fully recovered within just two days. Many people who have breast augmentation using implants are in pain for several days and will need to take time off from work. The safe alternative is a stem cell augmentation.

Natural breast augmentation, also referred to as Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation, uses new techniques that utilizes adult stem cells to ensure the fat survives in the breast. Using body fat allows the breast to move up one to two cup sizes, and has a more natural look and feel. There is no risk of leakage of chemicals into the body, which is a side effect of saline and silicone breast implants. For women who wish to have more children, natural breast augmentation does not interfere with breastfeeding, unlike implants that can impede nursing. Natural breast augmentation also allows for easier and more accurate mammograms.

This procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia. Fat is removed by liposuction, the stem cells are processed, and then they are integrated into the breasts. This allows the body to establish ample blood supply within the fat cells. This allows successful adaptation into the breast. Since all the tissue is from the woman’s own body, there is a very low risk of rejection of the tissue. After the procedure, women are sometimes required to wear a splint around the area immediately after the surgery to ensure that the fat stays in place. There is a relatively short recovery time for this procedure, usually 48 hours, and the side effects are minimal.

Natural breast augmentation is perfect for the woman who wants to go up one or two cup sizes. It is also ideal for women who have lost elasticity and fullness from aging, weight-gain, or breastfeeding. The risks are incredibly low, and there is absolutely not risk of rejection, unlike implants. Women who fit these criteria should take advantage of this fantastic technology. However, women who would like to have larger breasts will have to resort to implants.
