Inside the body you can - "spilt livers" (pieces of liver from adults) are regularly used for child's liver transplants, if a suitable size donor is not available. The piece of liver grows as the child grows, reaching a normal size. (But I don't know if the lobes appear in the same way that you would expect on a standard liver).
