Is TUBA Breast Augmentation with Breast Lift Safe?

First of all TUBA procedure does not yield excellent results in general.  there is very little precision/ control of the procedure, the plane of the implant is a bit of guess work and only saline implants can be placed.   I almost never perform TUBA for these reasons.  I almost never use Saline implants because they will never be soft or natural looking.  The shell of both Silicone and Saline implants are made of silicone so reactions to silicone is no more or less of a concern.  If you need a lift then there will already be access through the breast itself and I would strongly recommend subfascial placement of silicone implants to create a beautiful and lasting natural shape.

NO.  TUBA and breast lift is like oil and water. It does not mix and not advised.  The TUBA procedure is a very difficult technique and the majority of Plastic Surgeons stay away from it for good reason. Trying to add a breast lift with it is asking for a complication.  Trust me.

Inherently, it does not quite make sense to have a breast lift with TUBA. If you are destined to have a breast lift, then the implants should be placed through the breast lift incisions. Of course this is my opinion and others may disagree.
