Can an external tissue expander over the breasts kill fat cells?

Hi, I’ve been looking at external breast tissue expansion systems such as BRAVA and Noogleberry as a way to naturally enlarge my breasts. It’s a suction system that claims to naturally boost bust size by a cup size or so with consistent use. In a research article, I read that tissue expansion has been found to cause 30-50% loss of fat cells. Does anyone know if using an external suction device on the breasts could kill fat cells?
