I have asked this question, but didn’t post pics. I couldn’t edit the question so I’m asking again. At my consultation, a TABA was recommended. I am wanting a tummy tuck and augmentation. After looking at me, the doctor recommended doing my augmentation using my tummy tuck incision. Which sounds great. Only one scar to worry about. I’m not finding much information about it when I started researching it. I’m just wondering if the procedure is just as successful as others.

Answer: Transabdominal breast augmentation It's possible to have this procedure done for sure at the same time as a tummy tuck. In good hands, and for the right candidates, the results can be phenomenal, so be sure to select a board-certified experienced plastic surgeon to evaluate and treat you. The literature reports do point to a slightly higher chance of asymmetry or implants being uneven, when the implants are placed through incisions other than the routine ones. Be sure to review this with your doctor.

Answer: TUBA BAM Hello and Great Question. I appreciate the time you are spending researching this procedure. My name is Dr. Matthew J. Nykiel. I am a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, a Fellowship Trained Cosmetic Surgeon, and a Breast Augmentation Specialist. A TUBA breast augmentation is totally blind. Meaning the surgeon cannot see what he/she is doing when making the breast pocket. Typically, it gives inferior results. I hope that helps! Best of Luck! Matthew J.
