I would like stem cell breast augmentation for the natural beauty of slightly enhanced breasts.

It would be great to be able to take your own tissue and grow a breast implant.  Unfortunately, that's not going to happen any time soon.  Fat grating of the breast is performed by liposuctioning fat, which contains some stem cells, then injecting it into the breasts.

I'm not a fan of this as it is too unpredictable.  Standard implant are inert and therefore very safe.  Go with what is proven.
