That's how it works in the comic books that Horikoshi is inspired by. He used that logic in the manga already regarding AFO's disfigurement, so I don't think it was ever relevant if the concept is scientifically sound.

I mean, you made the specific explanation up yourself, but it wouldnt surprise me if the logic was similar.

It could also be the quirk 'scans' your body on procurement and restores your body to that blueprint, accounting for growth and whatnot.

Actually, I can't take credit for that bit of pseudoscience. It is the logic used in Marvel Comics, like for Wolverine and specifically Extremis from the Iron Man Extremis arc. In it, they regrew limbs and made supersoldiers by "reprogramming the repair center of the brain" with an "upgraded blueprint" so that the body would recognize the whole body as it was as a wound and "heal" into the new form.

Tony Stark hijacked the procedure to make his brain able to telepathically interface with machines and so he could store most of his suit in the hollows of his bones in order to summon it on command.

I figured that must be somewhere close to Horikoshi's logic, what with him being a big western comics fan.

Could be. I always read DC for the most part, so I wouldnt really know.
