If you're after a fuller bust and smaller behind, you may be interested in a way of achieving both — minus a treadmill and push-up bra. It's a case of cosmetic surgeons taking bottom fat and injecting it into your chest.
But this isn't new, you say? Well you're right. Kind of. According to the Wall Street Journal (which, of course, every beauty addict reads) doctors have tried similar procedures in the past. The problem was that once the fat was moved, it, in a word, "died".
The difference this time is that the fat concoctions taken from the body are processed to fortify the stem cells it contains. And it's this new fat-and-stem-cell combo that's injected to make breasts larger.
And while it's becoming a hugely popular procedure in Japan and Europe — and experts say it's fast making its way to the US — some doctors are worried about possible unknown long-term consequences.
