Does the transumbilical breast augmentation (TUBA) incision reduce risk of staph infections?
Some surgeons have found that the chances of a staph infection are reduced if breast implants are placed through your naval (transumbilically), when compared with incisions on the breast, particularly periareolar (nipple) incisions. This may be because periareolar breast implants are passed through the milk ducts, where staph bacteria are found naturally.
