Nothing;: Don't get stem cell transplants! they are unproven and potentially risky, especially when used in breasts. Some cells die and cause scar tissue and calcification that can mimic cancer on mammogran, or interfere with the detection of cancer. Most "stem cell" transplants are hype and marketing right now, though some legitimate research is going on. Check the academic credentials of "surgeon!".
