Stem Cells Key to Bigger Boobies

Who here is a girl/knows a girl who wants implants, but gets spooked by the whole silicone aspect? Well it looks like a couple of Japanese scientists have got your back. Their plan is to combine fat from your thigh with some stem cells. Then they take the "soup" and inject it into each of your mammaries. And presto chango you've got yourself a new rack that looks like pretty damn natural, since it's all you. Leave it Japan to take cutting edge medical tech, and turn it into a way to get bigger boobs.

  • One of my bosses just got saline implants...
    There are three coworkers who are getting them soon.
    *sigh* It sucks to work in the fashion industry. ;)

  • M'kay?

    Are you trying to get a immature arrogant "political" discussion started? Any topic in relation to current events will attract morons that attempt to make generic stereotypical insults/jokes about government(s).

  • If the technology works long term, whether it takes off is going to really depend on the question: Will women really want thinner thighs and bigger boobs at the same time?

  • Tha's either some good photoshopping or I am astonished at the results.

  • lol, wow, only the japs can come up with something so outrageous

  • How do they stop them from growing? There can definitely be too much of a good thing here.

  • Finally, a viable medical use for stem cells!

  • so equasions like these are how nerds learn math

  • now if this news were to come out while bill clinton was still in office every man woman and child in this nation would have been given a grant for "stem cell booby research"

    ... you mean that kind of commentary Karttikeya, lighten up it's boobies, everyone likes those

  • what if it's contagious that can't be good.

  • This is a total ripoff of the iPhone.

  • breastes ftw?

  • It's not photoshopped. The breast thigh fat also solved the problem of time travel so they went back in time and injected it into Keira Knightley.

  • hmm...given this new advancement and demonstration of the power of stem cells...i now fully support the use of stem cell research!!!! I say we even divert all government funding too stem cell research..

    but i must agree with jmb... this is a total iphone rip off

  • I'm surprised no one pointed out that uncontrolled proliferative tissue already has a name, not "jugs" or "funbags" but "cancer". Yes you can give a woman big breasts but when they infiltrate her chest, that's a malignancy, not a party.

    Personally I like the girls with the junk in the trunk and in Boston we don't need stem cells for that, just three meals and no exercise. God I need to get back to CA.

  • They're not using embryonic stem cells, fyi, that wouldn't do much good and it would be FREAKING EXPENSIVE. The idea is that fatty tissue contains adipose-derived cells (in plain English, stem cells that make fat cells). But there's not a lot of them, so they're just extracting them from a portion of the fat that is liposucked from your backside and adding them back to the rest of it, so that you end up with a higher concentration of stem cells to regular fat cells.

    Boobs are made of fat and very little glandular tissue. It's physiologically impossible to be skinny and have naturally big breasts. I wish people would get this through their heads.

  • Hehe, Hail again to the japanese. Besides a cool culture, anime and high tech, they now bring this foward.
    Actually japanese we the pioneers of breast enhancement from the jump street, they where the 1st to try out silicone (in a very raw and indirect manner i might say) back in the 40's and 50's.

    Now I wonder, when will us males get stem cell enhancements invented?? (not that I need it:P)

  • Ben- if it works for my boobs, will it work on YOUR junk?
    PS- Why isn't this tagged "Boobies" like the other breast-related posts are? How many "not:" tags do I have to add to this site?

  • JAPAN ftw.

  • I think it's morally wrong to kill innocent babies for bigger boobs. That's two babies DEAD just for one woman's funner bags! I hope that this becomes the focus of the 08' elections. What's next, killing puppies for bigger dingalings?

  • LOL jmb127

  • Now if they can do something for Mr. Happy to keep HER happy...
    We have the the whole Ying-Yang solved once and for all...

    ♥ ♀♂ ♥

    Except for headaches...
    Can they do something about headaches with stem cells????

  • Hello_Newman- It only requires a few fat cells from the thigh because stem cells should turn into more fat cells-you would know this if you had payed attention to the any normal news in the last 10 years.

    UltimateIdiot- first of all, calling the Japanese Japs is like calling the Germans Krouts (sp?) or calling African Americans Niggers, except perhaps a little less extreme and not as well known, second, this idea is not very outrageous, in fact it makes a lot of sense.

  • Um, edgarj, they use babies that would already be aborted anyway, plus, they aren't babies yet when they abort them. Second, one "Dead baby" would have enough stem cells for at least one woman's "fun bags".

  • Why are my comments not appearing, its been at least 5 minutes

  • Vote for me in 2008, and this procedure will be covered by MediCare. My Beautify America platform supporting breast augmentation and liposucton will help us all suckle at the government's teat...

  • finally, a way to use useful cells to make fat!

  • OMG WCD_Thor, thanks for that prescient info. Just the thought of babies (might as well be the 'the baby J') inside of boobs getting sucked on by Mark Ashley, though somewhat erotic, made me angry at the scientist that mix babies with other parts and make medicine for the 'Hollywood Elite' out of lil'uns! They must be stopped! Sigh... Now I don't have to hate my super selfish cousin, who has AML and opted for babies in his blood (bone marrow transplant). If only you were there to tell me about 'stem cells' when I called him a 'baby vampire' last Thanksgiving. Again, thanks for the explaner!

  • Thanks God, there are a lot of women who doesn't need this

  • DCD_Thor, your comments are certainly appearing, and in neon fashon.. You are really elucidating this whole "stem cell" mess for us gumps. Please keep doing what you do so well... distilling irony from ignorance, illuminating the dark corners of the 'big black box' with an unpatronizing voice, before now, reserved to Bill Nye and Ira Glass. I sallute you, Thor! God of all Time Magazine scientists!

  • God bless Japan. Making the medical breakthroughs that matter.

  • If this doesn't sway the American government's stance on stem cell research, I don't know what will.

  • edgarj-Your first comment could be read in two ways-as a joke, which it now seems like it was judging by your over zealous reaction, or as a serious statement. There are many people out their that would say something like that seriously, and thats the way I took it at the time. And I did wait for a while before asking why my posts weren't appearing, and the question is a good one, considering I have had other problems with the website before.

  • I used to have a forum I went to for flame fest, now all I have to do is load up a tech blog. Which includes boobies. That's like 2 sites I don't have to visit anymore. Well done giz!

  • First it was Anime, then we got Cosplay, Maid Cafes and Gothic Lolitas, later we found out that in some districs, sex is legal from age 13... and now this???

    Enough!!!
    Im making my bags and moving there as soon as poosible!!!

    Adios Mexico!!! Hola Japon!!!

  • Erzengel: Sex is legal from age 13...

    o_o @ Erzengel

    That... didnt sound like a downside O_O

  • Image of strider_mt2k strider_mt2k at 07:12 AM on 02/13/07 *

    Do they feel like a bag of sand?

  • That's it I'm moving to Japan!

  • Glad to see science still isn't working it's way into peoples thoughts on stem cells. They never said it was embrionic stem cells. Could have been Adult Stem Cells or the ones they get from Umbilical Cords. I am not a scientist or even that interested in this technology at the moment, but I still find it facinating that so many assumtions are derived simply from the term stem cells, some of which are in the fatty tissue pulled from the womans thigh to begin with.

    Anyway...

  • I read that when they do something similar (injecting your own fat) into your pork sword - it had a tendency to migrate.

    Maybe some Japanese will become 'fat heads'.

  • so equasions like these are how nerds learn math


    BUT NOT , APPARENTLY, SPELLING!!

  • I find it most hilarious that this post has over 40 comments while the surrounding ones have less than 5 each.

    We definitely know what we care about in the "giz" world :-)

  • Xenobiologista says:

    It's physiologically impossible to be skinny and have naturally big breasts.
    I don't understand. If this is true how is it possible that thin girls to have naturally large breasts? I know several, of which at least one has discussed having a breast reduction.
  • They're not that skinny then calebc.

  • I do not want to have bigger boobs. If you aren't satisfied with what you were conceived with, exterminate yourself for room for others that are.
    Also, the risk for cancer is doubled with stemcell breast enlargement.

    Small boobs=better personality
    (sex is better, clothing fits better, wolves don't drewl, you are the subject; not down there)

  • because it's not true. many factors decide breast size, and weight is just one of them.

  • Woman gets pregnant>>>aborts baby>>>uses stem sells for bigger boobs>>>attracts more mates>>>gets pregnant again>>>aborts baby again>>>gets bigger buttocks>>> well you get the idea ahhahah

  • Are you trying to get a immature arrogant "political" discussion started? Any topic in relation to current events will attract morons that attempt to make generic stereotypical insults/jokes about government(s).

    40 posts later and nothing to the subject. i think you underestimate the power of the boobies (and the non-politically aligned crowd here).


    I do not want to have bigger boobs. If you aren't satisfied with what you were conceived with, exterminate yourself for room for others that are.

    don't forget many have lost a breast from cancer and this could be giving them a more natural way to get it back.


    Small boobs=better personality

    that comes off as jealousy and stereotyping. usually those who are satisfied with themselves don't feel the need to put down others who have something they don't.

    besides why does it bother you what other people choose to do when it doesn't directly impact you?

  • @Paradise
    Honestly, you are my hero.

  • but i want this nowwwww!

  • Man, I was really hoping edgarj was being ironic with his statements. Alas... Alack.

  • snow-pooping robots, chocolate-dipped women, all-natural scientifically feasible breast enhancements... and not to mention nice cellphones. japan wins.

  • I'm officially a supporter of Stem Cell research now.

  • big boobs = back pain

    Ergo, I have more than enough back pain.

    Imagine your balls weighing 15 lbs. each and they are attached to your chest. Seriously. Ouch.

  • wow, joyflop, I did not know boobies accounted for roughly 25% of the total body weight. It must be tough to lug around something weighing about the same as two watermelons with you.

  • ojisan, I'm not sure if your tone is sarcastic or not, but yes, boobs can be heavy! To get into the math: I'm 150 - I am not overweight by any standard I know, but I wear anywhere from a 34F to a 34H.

    150 minus 30 lbs. of boobs would leave me at 120. Amazing, isn't it? If were to have any kind of surgery, I would consider breast reduction, but I'm not sure it's considered elective surgery or not.

    The short and long of it: I think any one considering any kind of implant or augmentation should really think realistically about it. If after everything, they STILL want big boobs, shit- they can have some of mine! :)p

  • Paradise-you got it right.

  • Deviant Spawn says:
    Erzengel: Sex is legal from age 13...

    o_o @ Erzengel

    Who mentioned any downside XD?
    Japan rules

  • all good. but the small print sez you have to shave the new boobies as often as you shave your lege

  • Imagine your balls weighing 15 lbs. each and they are attached to your chest. Seriously. Ouch.

    my gift. my curse.

  • All these comments, and I don't think I saw one that points out that big boobs are bad for women who are into archery.


  • joyflop,

    If my comment came off as something sarcastic and you were offended, I apologize. It *was* half-sarcasm, but since I've never held a 15 lb. boob in my hand, I thought you were exaggerating.

    While there still is a slight doubt in my head until I'm proven wrong physically (and I would really love to be proven wrong), I guess I have to say I was ignorant of such fact.

    As a guy, it's sad to hear that such gifts are causing so much pain and anguish to the point it must be reduced, but I fully understand it's a health risk and respect any woman who chooses to go through such a procedure. Cheers.
