Breast augmentation is a popular procedure. In an attempt to improve on existing methods, Dr. Jafar Koupaie, a Brookline dermatologist, has developed a procedure in which stem cells are used instead of silicon. Dr Koupaie has not yet started putting his innovation into practice but he has informed the FDA that he intends to do so soon. Dr. Koupaie will have to apply for an investigational new drug license to proceed, which is the first step before clinical trials and ultimately FDA approval or denial.
