Transumbilical Breast Augmentation
Transumbilical breast augmentation, also known as the bellybutton breast mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that aims to enhance the size and appearance of the breasts to achieve symmetry through the patient’s abdominal area
Within this article, we will touch upon the technique of this unique surgery, benefits, ideal candidates, highly reviewed plastic surgeons, pricing and so much more about the Transumbilical breast augmentation procedure.
Understanding transumbilical breast augmentation (TUBA) procedure
TUBA, or Transumbilical breast augmentation, involves introducing a breast implant from the belly button. It uses the abdominal area to get the implants up to the breast area. Once it gets to the breast area, it pours the gel breast implant. This procedure must not be used on someone who already had a breast implant before. Doctors recommend operating on “virgin” skin. Via the navel area, the doctors can avoid scarring the tissue.
The Transumbilical Breast Augmentation procedure does not produce any new scars other than the one already there, the bellybutton. The operation takes about 30 to 40 minutes. It takes less time to recover from a TransUmbilical Breast Augmentation surgery, than a regular breast implant. Since the operation time is shorter, anesthesia-related complications do not appear so often. It also has a low risk of infections and other complications.
When choosing to undergo TUBA surgery, make certain that the doctor has a lot of experience with the Transumbilical Breast Augmentation technique. The surgery has a lot of margin of error.

How does transumbilical breast augmentation surgery works?
On the day of the operation, the doctor will give the patient a mild sedative or anesthetic. Once the patient is relaxed, attendees will take the patient to the operating room. At the start of the operation, the doctor makes a small, 2 centimeter, incision in the navel.
Using endoscopic assistance, the doctor creates two tunnels for each implant. When the implant reaches the chest, the doctor injects the silicone-gel implants bellow the breast. If the implants have saline solution instead of silicon, the doctor may fill them up from the inside. This part of the procedure does not use endoscopic assistance.
By placing the implants under the muscle, the doctor then examines the pectoral muscles to accommodate the breast. In some cases in a Transumbilical breast augmentation, the doctors places the implant on the muscles. In both cases, the doctor then manually places the implants in their respective locations. Since the surgery does not take a long time, about a one hour, local anesthesia with sedation is generally used. The patient can go home a few hours after surgery. Ask a friend to drive you home, as anesthesia can leave you a bit groggy.
