Transumbilical Breast Augmentation

Transumbilical breast augmentation (TUBA) is an innovative new technique used to enhance the size and shape of a woman's breasts with breast implants. The main advantage of TUBA is that the procedure leaves only a tiny scar at the upper rim of the navel and results in no scarring in the area of the breasts. TUBA breast augmentation is considered less invasive than when breast implants are inserted through incisions under the breast (inframammary fold), around the nipple (peri-areolar) or in the armpit (transaxillary). For many patients, this translates to a quicker recovery from surgery and less post-operative pain.
