Does TUBA carry a lower risk of infection?
Yes. Any surgery does carry a risk of infection, but with TUBA, this risk is lower than with the other breast augmentation incision patterns. With TUBA, the incision is not near the breast tissue and the breast implant is not passed through any areas in the breast where staph bacteria naturally live.
