Is TUBA Breast Augmentation with Breast Lift Safe?
January 8, 2010
Asked By:
I came across a surgeon website who practices in NY city that states that the doc is an expert in Transumbilical Breast Augmentation (TUBA) procedure. I have read that there will be no visible scar in TUBA but is this procedure safe and do you recommend this procedure? If I also need a Breast lift, which will leave a scar and will be less painful as Breast implant will be thru' navel and lift will be over the muscle?
So, does it make sense to have a lift with combo of TUBA for implant? Thanks for your great responses so far!
