Look at:

http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/uikit/reference/UIImage_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40006890-CH3-SW4

UIImage *image = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"chatBubble.png"] stretchableImageWithLeftCapWidth:5 topCapHeight:5];

This will create an image with the corners 5x5 which doesn't stretch, but with a body that does.
