Using your fat: Excessive panicle of abdomen which no one wants , also has stem cells besides fat cells, when removed by liposuction , that is transferred to fill the breast to larger size , called adipose tissue transfer with stem cells .No proof these stem cells transform to breast cells , ducts, ligaments etc , theoretically as they are totipotent , stem cell has potential to transform to any tissue or organ.

Fat Transfer: "stem cell" breast augmentation is really no more than fat transfer to the breast. There can be stem cells that are harvested along with the fat, but the majority is still fat. Some of this fat goes away after the injection, but that also means that some survives permanently.

Using fat: Still considered experimental with many complications and risk of having abnormal findings on your mammogram. You need to be very careful before undertaking a procedure such as this.

marketing: Calling an augmentation a stem cell breast augmentation is really a way to market a procedure that is commonly referred to as fat transfer to the breast. Reason why some physicians may use the terms themselves augmentation is that liposuction fat contains a large amount of stem cells.

"natural breast aug": This term is ambiguous and used for marketing purposes. It may refer to the technique of harvesting fat from your body, treating a portion of that fat with Collagenase to collect the stem cells which are then added back to the rest of the harvested fat before being injected into breasts, buttocks, and face. This "stem cell added fat" has a 10-15% greater take rate but is more expensive!
