TUBA (Trans-Umbilical Incision)

First time I ever heard and saw and a TUBA incision was on the TV show Dr. 90210. I try to be unbiased when writing these blogs; however, I must say that I’m amazed find to see how far women are willing to go for beauty. Anyways, the incision in this procedure is made along the rim of the patient’s navel. Then a small scope is tunneled to the breasts, and the implants are inserted through the incision and moved into the breast pockets. Once inside, the implants are filled with a pre-determined amount of implant solution.

The biggest advantage over the other incisions: TUBA procedure requires only one small incision for both breasts; thus, there will be only a single and smaller surgical scar once the procedure is completed. Moreover, TUBA involves a shorter recovery period and less postoperative discomfort that other types of breast implant incisions.
