Fatty thighs to give breasts uplift

Surgeons are close to developing the ultimate cosmetic treatment to sculpt the female body. They have successfully carried out “natural” breast enlargements where unwanted fat from women’s hips and thighs is transplanted on to their busts.

The procedure allows surgeons to redistribute fat around women’s bodies, sculpting their figures into an ideal shape. The operations have been carried out on dozens of women in America and British clinics are planning to offer the technique.

Sydney Coleman, a world-renowned plastic surgeon from New York, has performed about 30 breast augmentations using women’s own fat. “I recently operated on a mother and daughter who both had big love handles. It was easy just to remove it and place it on the chest,” Coleman said.

If the procedure is perfected it could end the need for silicon implants, which have to be replaced every 10 years. Scarring can occur around the implant causing infections, and many women are reluctant to have artificial materials introduced into their bodies.
