What is
Transumbilical Breast Augmentation?
Transumbilical
Breast Augmentation, commonly referred to as T.U.B.A., scarless
or belly button breast augmentation and Endo BAM, is the surgery
to increase the breast size by implanting breast implants
through the umbilicus, or navel. This surgery has
proven itself to be a faster and less invasive procedure--creating a larger breast without visible scars on the breasts or
in the armpit. This surgery has created a lot of
controversy in the past by those who do not know how to perform
it. Surgeons who have not been trained in this technique
often scoff at its safety and efficacy even though there are
less complications and less physical stress to the patient with
this particular method.
Transumbilical
Breast Augmentation is very effective at delivering the desired
results to the patient usually with less downtime
and unnecessary post-operative care as comparable with standard
incision sites. This endoscopic technique also has its
advantages when breast size is substantially increased.
Reason being, there is less tension on the incision line which
can cause opening of the wounds which may lead to infection and
unsightly stretched scars. However, patients
needing a mastopexy (breast lift) who are opting for such
will usually have their breast implants placed through their
mastopexy scars. If you desire larger breasts, need breast
reconstruction, do not want or need a lift and are in great
physical condition (no active diseases, disorders or mental
instabilities) with excellent skin elasticity--T.U.B.A. just
may be the procedure for you.
