That hard-to-lose fat around your waist tends to be a bit of a nightmare to shed, as well as being an early indicator for health problems such as diabetes. Now, for those women who’ve always dreamed of boosting their boobs, hate their muffin tops and have a few grand to splash about, the perfect solution seems to have come along.

A new cosmetic procedure has been developed which sees fat taken from around the waist and inject into the breasts.  Described as a “two for one” procedure, the operation has been greeted by cosmetic surgeons as the new breakthrough in surgery.

The president of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, Nigel Mercer, said that the new procedure was on the agenda for the annual meeting this week in Cardiff of the top plastic surgeons in the world.

Mr. Mercer added that fat grafting techniques have been around for a while but previously were not widely offered due to concerns over safety and whether the body would accept the fat. He added that the Association was not yet sure whether the procedure could be widely offered to the public. There are also concerns that the fat might calcify and be mistaken for a tumour during a routine mammogram.

The Harley Medical Group chain of plastic surgeons is planning to offer the treatment and Mel Braham, their chairman, described trials of the technique as “astonishingly successful”. He said that it offered the opportunity to provide patients with two procedures while other surgeons have said that fat taken from the body would act as a more natural implant.
