as the others already explained this won't work. But there may be an 
alternative route, not an easy one though:

from your mesh create a density file, use that for the isosurface and 
apply the displacement funtion.

Creating the density file can be done by intersecting a "solid" mesh 
(inside_vector) with a thin box. Move the box through the object and put 
all the resulting images into a density file. Now the difficult part 
comes, you'll have to blurr the density file. There are some applications 
for medical visualisation that can be of help here. Maybe the blurring of 
the induvidual slices ie enough and you can use any image editor. The 
total process will be slow and to get some quality/resolution the files 
will be huge.
