Stem cells are found throughout the body. The two main types of human stem cells are embryonic and adult. What distinguishes them from regular cells is their ability to self-renew and regenerate tissue. In terms of breast implants, those involving stem cells feel and look more natural than traditional implants because they are made of the body’s own cells and tissues rather than foreign implants such as silicone.
Stem cell research is an exciting field of medicine and much research has been directed at finding cures for significant illnesses such as Alzheimer's. It has been used for regenerative purposes – e.g. mastectomy, and also for heart injuries and facial scarring. The cosmetic advantages are a relatively new area.
How Do Stem Cell Breast Implants Work?
It involves taking extra fat from the stomach or thighs, half of which is developed to extract the stem cells. These stem cells are then added to the rest of the fat and injected over time into the breast tissue to increase their volume. It’s thought that stem cells stimulate blood flow to the fat enabling it to survive and remain healthy. The result is softer, more natural looking breast implants that should not cause problems such as leakage, infection, cysts or rupturing.
