One of the videos linked to at the end of the “Skin Gun” video on YouTube is what sure plays like a horrible late-night infomercial starring Suzanne Somers. But if it is even halfway accurate, it shows a hell of a thing.
It seems that Somers had stage 1 breast cancer, and the treatment involved basically hollowing out her right breast leaving the skin but apparently nothing under it. Rather than getting an artificial implant, she seems to have grown replacement breast tissue. As shown in the video, the process seems to be remarkably easy (thus very likely meaning that the video oversimplifies something fierce). Fat from her torso was liposuctioned out and then centrifuged, separating fat from “stem cells” (how they got stem cells separated from regular cells was a question left unexplored). The stem cells are then processed in some way (also left unexplored), and then the “stronger” stem cells are mixed back in with the fat, and the whole mess is then injected back into the hollowed-out breast. And that, at least according to the video, is apparently that. My guess would be that the fat settles in and forms a semi-solid “mold” that the stem cells grow into and eventually replace.
The video is, perhaps shockingly, NSFW.

It would be instructive for doctors to revisit Ms. Somers in future years to see if it really takes hold in the long run. If this sort of thing really works, then the implant industry would seem to have some serious competition… and it would seem that , perhaps combined with the Skin Gun, major reconstructive procedures for those who have been burned or otherwise mangled might be both easier and more successful.
