Researchers in Australia plan to test a medical "scaffold" designed to stimulate natural breast tissue to regrow following surgery.
Doctors from the Bernard O'Brien Institute of Microsurgery in Melbourne, will test the technique next year in a trial involving six patients.
The team say that the permanent fat found in breasts can be grown inside this contoured scaffold.
"They claim to have successfully tested the device in pigs" sounds promising!
in all seriousness, we should be so much further with our medical technology, all the billions upon billions being poured into research etc over the years.
However i'm sure this surgery, if successfull, should be welcomed by many women over the world.

Very good. Although some might think of it as cosmetic surgery (I wouldn't).
By the way, that picture looks like a giant fire ball. - 2 years ago
