In a recent article in the New York Post about Breast Regrowth, it speaks about a surgical technique that could help cancer victims who had mastectomies regrow their breasts.
If the three-year trial of the experimental stem-cell technique called Neopec, is a success women could form a new breast in four to six months, the Herald Sun of Melbourne reported.
The procedure uses stem cellsCells from which all blood cells develop. of a patient’s own fat thereby enabling women to grow their natural breasts.
During the trial, surgeons from the Bernard O’Brien Institute of Microsurgery in Melbourne will implant a breast-shaped, biodegradable, synthetic chamber under the skin on the patient’s chest as a scaffold for the new breast to grow in.
Doctors redirect a blood vessel from the underarm to the fat inside the chamber, which would grow and fill the fist-sized space and form a new breast during the next four to six months.
