Asked By:Ksjoe1 in Scottsdale, AZ

Hello, I had a TUBA done 12 years ago and I am wanting the implants removed. I have saline implants above the muscle. I am African American and I am at risk for keloids. Is it possible to do a TUBA explant procedure or will it have to be done under the armpit? Thank you!
