SAN DIEGO Plastic surgeons are in San Diego this week discussing the future of the industry, which includes stem cell therapy.
Dr. Bob Murphy, the head of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, said the industry has a long history of forward thinking. He said stem cell therapy can be applied in elective procedures and reconstructive procedures.
You can grow new parts of the body, said Dr. Murphy. Breast reconstruction perhaps one day you can regrow breasts after a mastectomy with stem cell therapy. Its a boundless field.
