Can fat cells be replicated/duplicated/created?

February 23, 2015
Asked By:dz349 in New Rochelle, NY

Hi, I've been looking into the stem cell/fat grafting procedure hoping to transfer fat to my small B-cup breasts. The problem is that I am slim. I'm hesitant to take fat from my butt or thighs because I they are small already. Can fat cells that are extracted from the body be replicated/duplicated/increased in some way before being injected into the breasts, so that someone without a lot of body fat like me can achieve fuller breasts through the stem cell/fat grafting procedure? Thanks in advance!
