Is the chance of infection is greater or lesser with TUBA?
Although there is always the chance of infection due to unforeseen problems such as improper wound and general health care post-operatively (not keeping the area clean, swimming or bathing in water where germs may live, not taking antibiotics, etc.) or the rare chance of bacteria on the surface of the breast implant, chances of infections are usually lessened due to the placement of the incision in the navel and the lack of implant-breast tissue exposure. The incision is not near the breast tissue nor with some surgeon’s techniques is the breast implant ever passed through the actual skin where Staphylococcus aureus naturally lives on the surface of our skin. Plus the ducts within the breast are never cut or disturbed which would release this bacteria nor is the implant passed through this ductwork where bacteria naturally “lives”. The implant can be passed through an endotube which is inserted into your navel up to your breasts so that it has an untainted passageway into your body.
