Breast Augmentation Using The Trans-Umbilical Procedure

---

More women have had their breasts augmented than any other aesthetic plastic surgery procedure in theUnited States. That is why it is the number one plastic surgery procedure performed to date. There are many reasons why women choose to undergo this surgical treatment, some of which include the desire to enhance the size and shape of their breasts, to correct deformities and to have reconstruction of breast tissue after a mastectomy. Let's take a look at whether breast augmentation might be right for you.

Two implant options are available when considering breast enlargement surgery; saline implants and silicon gel implants. Whichever implant a woman chooses depends on what her desired outcome is and her size and build. Does she want a uniform look or a more natural look and feel? Silicone implants provide a more natural look and feel, while saline can be increased or decreased in size to even out any lopsidedness.

Many people nowadays prefer the trans-umbilical breast augmentations (TUBA) procedure for breast enlargement. Unlike many other breast enlargement surgeries where the cut is made either in the armpit or under the bust, for a TUBA surgery, belly button is the place where the incision is made.

In this manner, the TUBA procedure is very different as the plastic surgeon will be tunneling the instruments from the incision in the belly button to the chest region. A deflated saline implant is first fed through the tunnel and then when it is in its proper place that is in front of or behind the muscle, it is filled with saline solution.

Aftercare is very important. You need to be on light duty and avoid arduous physical activity for some weeks after your operation and use a sports bra as an added support till you completely recover from the TUBA surgery.

The first and foremost thing required to be done is to look for a board certified plastic surgeon to conduct the surgery. The site www.cosmeticsurgerysociety.com can help you to find a plastic surgeon with a membership of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

Once you have identified a cosmetic surgeon with the desired qualifications around your locality, you need to make an appointment with him for consultation. He will be able to help you decide whether you are in a proper mental and physical state to undergo breast enhancement surgery. He will also be able to devote the time to explain and analyze the associated risks and benefits and the kind of post operative care available.

One of the biggest advantages of the trans-umbilical breast augmentation cosmetic surgery is that the recovery time is much shorter than with the more traditional types of breast surgery. This surgical procedure typically results in minimal scarring on the body, less pain, less post-operative care and less time off for recovery. A disadvantage of the procedure is that there is a greater chance of the implant being punctured and leaking during surgery.
