When you've had a lumpectomy, you lose the tumor but wind up with a breast that is no longer smooth and curvy. It may have a dimple or divot in the surface, marking the former location of the tumor, a thing you might like to forget. Cytori Therapeutics is working on an investigational solution for this, that uses your own stem and fat cells for lumpectomy reconstruction.
