History of Breast Implants

Personal Choices for the 21st Century

Some researchers say that new tissue engineering technology using stem cells derived from liposuctioned fat may someday be used to "grow" breast tissue. Or breast enlargement may be achieved through manipulation of hormones or other chemical or biological substances. These and other innovations are likely to provide increased options for breast augmentation in the 21st Century.

In the meantime, women seeking breast enlargement have a variety of choices, and most breast augmentation patients will achieve a high level of satisfaction with the current methods and devices. Surveys consistently show that the overwhelming majority of women who undergo breast augmentation say they would make the same decision again.
