Overview

Trans-umbilical breast augmentation or T.U.B.A. is one of the most frequently used methods of cosmetic surgeries to alter the size of breasts. It is specifically used to enhance the size of:

• Underdeveloped breasts
• Breasts decreased in size after pregnancy

• Women wanting breast lifts

It depends largely on consultation between patient and doctor as a great deal of decision making is involved. Implants are used for breast enhancement. The patient must carefully select the size and shape. Placement of the implants is either under or over breast tissue via the naval (TUBA/Trans-umbilical). Other methods of implanting are via the nipple (Periareolar), under the breast (Inframammary), or through the armpit (Transaxillary).

Why Choose This Method?

Why is this method so often chosen? Trans-umbilical breast augmentation or T.U.B.A. is one of the most frequently used because it is one of the least invasive surgeries. It results in no visible scarring. Trans-umbilical breast augmentation has no need for the breasts themselves to have any incisions. Granted, this is why the procedure does cost more than most, but it is definitely worth it. Unlike any other method, following the surgery:

• The patient requires less post-operative care that incisions usually require due to such things as the absence of the risk of infection.
• Less medication is needed due to less pain and discomfort.
• The long-term effects of a typical cosmetic surgery take a great deal of time due to healing, but the lack of incisions from this procedure eliminate this.

Debate

Now, there has been some controversy over this procedure actually causing more and not less scars and that such desirable results boasted were not possible. However, that was the result of unqualified doctors performing the surgery. This procedure is excellent if done by a skilled surgeon who can accurately perform the technique. If this is true, the surgery can and will produce desirable results.

Conclusion

Cosmetic surgery despite everything is about simply wanting to look good. Trans-umbilical surgery or T.U.B.A. can enhance the size of underdeveloped breasts or breasts that are now smaller in size due to pregnancy, or provide breasts that need a lift. This procedure, unlike others can provide this without visible scarring, less post-operative care, medication, and long-term healing. Most patients even report less discomfort. Forget stressing over visible scars slowly healing after a cosmetic procedure that was meant to enhance appearance and not create more discomfort. T.U.B.A. is an exceptional procedure that creates an exceptional new appearance.
