Previous attempts to increase breast size with fat have failed because some of the tissue dies, forming hard lumps. Well, we wouldn't want fat to die for the cause of breast enhancement. /sarcasm

They are adult fat stem cells from the patient themself.

Hedrick believes that fat stem cells will one day find a broader use in repairing heart muscle and bone fractures and in other developing stem-cell therapies. But it is not yet clear how to coax such cells into becoming muscle, bone or blood, he says.
In preparation for future therapies, MacroPore Biosurgery are already offering people who have had liposuction the opportunity to bank their fat stem cells. "I think it's crazy to throw them away," Hedrick says.

What happens if the breasts don't stop growing like the plant in Audrey II.

They will never get the support of Christian Fundamentalists until they can use stem cells to increase penis size.

If they can find away to use fat from donors, I have a few kilos I can spare...
It would be a heartwarming thing if my gift could help a poor girl achieve D cups.
