The ultimate boob job?

I just heard about this from a stripper. Sounds intriguing but due to the cost, I doubt many stripper will be in the market for them until the price tag comes way down.

Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation

Women have always wanted to move fat from their waist or thighs to their breasts. Now it is possible! Sydney R. Coleman, MD has just presented his eleven-year experience in breast enlargement with a woman's own fat at the most prestigious plastic surgery meetings in Europe and the United States. The lectures introduced the use of his trademarked technique of fat grafting, Lipostructure, for breast augmentation and reshaping of the breast to create a long-lasting and natural result.

Plastic surgeons have transplanted fat to the breast since 1995 but the results have been variable depending on the technique used, the surgeon, and the individual patients. In 1995, Dr. Coleman began injecting fat into the breasts using special instruments he developed for fat grafting. Dr Coleman is able to transfer body fat to the breasts to create a completely natural augmentation that has every indication of being permanent. He uses fat grafting to the breasts as an alternative to implants for augmentations, to ìfine tuneî breast reconstruction, and to disguise the edges or rippling of existing silicone gel and saline implants.

Fat grafting to the breast consists of two procedures performed on the same day: first harvesting the fat and then placement into the breasts. To begin, a substantial amount of fat is removed with a Coleman harvesting cannulaT connected to a small syringe. Then, the harvested fat is injected meticulously through four tiny 1/8 inch incisions using blunt Coleman infiltration cannulas.

Fat transfer to the breasts has many advantages over implants, but the major advantages are:
•Fat is completely natural substance that comes from your own body
•Harvesting of the fat can be used to enhance your shape
•The breast can be sculpted and shaped
•There are minimal incisions with this procedure, which reduces the possibility of scarring
•Fat grafting to the breasts can be used to disguise breast implants that do not look natural

Breast augmentation by using the Lipostructure technique takes much longer than traditional breast augmentation. Working with his associate Dr. Alesia Saboeiro, Dr. Coleman typically takes four to six hours for this procedure. The fragile fatty tissue must be harvested slowly and gently. The fat is then placed into the breast not only so that it will create as aesthetic, natural appearance, but also so that the newly transplanted fat has a chance to survive.

Dr. Coleman's overriding concern with injecting fat into the breast has been to avoid any problems with breast cancer detection. As with any breast procedure, calcifications and lumps can occur. Breast studies including physical examination and mammograms, should be used to monitor every patient diligently. However, there is no evidence that fat transfer to the breast is less safe than any breast surgery. Large studies have begun over the last few years to study fat grafting to the breast.

Obviously, surgeons with extensive experience in grafting large volumes of fat to the body are most likely to obtain the best results. Dr. Coleman warns that fat grafting to the breast should only be performed by a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in not only fat grafting, but also the anatomy and aesthetics of breast augmentation.
