Suzanne Somers tried many alternative and conventional treatments to stop her cancer growth. Among the more conventional was a lumpectomy, also known as breast-conserving surgery. Per the Mayo Clinic, a lumpectomy involves the removal of cancerous breast tissue and some of the surrounding healthy tissue to halt breast cancer in its tracks. One of the side effects of having a lumpectomy is a change in the size and appearance of the breast.
To rebuild her breast anew, Somers told Us Weekly in 2018 that she sought out a medical professional specializing in regenerative techniques using stem cells. Loving what she saw, she decided to undergo a procedure known as cell-assisted lipotransfer (CAL). In her interview with Us Weekly, Somers broke down exactly what the term means. "They took fat from my stomach, spun out the stem cells, discarded the weak ones, took the strong ones, injected them into this breast with, like, a turkey baster," she explained. For the next year, Somers said she felt the sensation of "electrical zippers" within her regrowing breast. Somers was thrilled with the results. "The first two weeks after I had it done, I was showing everybody," she divulged. "I'd whip it out — 'cause I was so used to not having it. And then after two weeks, my husband said to me, 'You gotta stop showing people your breast!'"
