Football Wives Breasts Made of Stem Cells - Just in Time for EURO 2008
VIENNA, June 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Silicone breasts for a football star's girlfriend, aging Hollywood actresses with doll-like, over-tightened faces - all this could soon be a matter of the past. Cosmetic surgery is developing into an interdisciplinary medicine of beauty and rejuvenation which has only little use for silicone and scalpel.

Liposuction by use of microcannulas offers a good example, being easy on the tissue and allowing for precise shaping of body and face, followed by only minimal aftercare. The second pillar on which new cosmetic surgery rests is the use of body-own stem cells.
