Do you perform TUBA (transumbilical breast augmentation), and what are the incision locations?
Dr. Mackenzie does not offer the TUBA procedure nor is it recommended by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. The TUBA is not a scarless procedure – a scar is placed in the belly button, and ridging can occur in the upper abdomen. If a patient is adamant about avoiding scars on her breasts, the underarm (transaxillary) approach is a great option. At Pacific Plastic Surgery in Santa Barbara, breast augmentation and enlargement is only performed using approved surgical procedures.
