...Actually, this isn't at all surprising to me. It sounds like a good idea, but then comes the problem of vasculature...Transporting tissue from one area of the body doesn't necessarily do a good job of preserving the blood vessels in that tissue (as far as I know). Without a network of blood vessels or some sort of nutrient bath, you can't really support living tissue. And the body doesn't like using the nutrient bath method because it makes it harder to extract cellular waste products. But, you know, once they get that problem nailed down, liposuction can have a secondary function...
(As a side note, tumors DO use the nutrient bath method since their network of blood vessels are often chaotic and malformed, whereas the rest of the body's blood vessels have a definite order. This is why Chemo doesn't always work, since the drugs have a difficult time penetrating the tumors wacked out vasculature, and tends to do so unevenly)
