Modified umbilical approach with silicone - JustBreastImplants.com Forums - Breast Augmentation, Breast Implants, and Plastic Surgeons

A doctor here in California, who specializes in the TUBA procedure, offered me a modified umbilial approach. In order to have silicone the doctor would add the imlants through the crease at the end of the procedure. He said the TUBA in general has a faster healing time, and less trama involved. In your opinion, is it a good idea to have the TUBA, and also two crease scars. Does the Modified umbilical approach make sense?

I am trying to find a way to say it nicely but that is one of the dumbest things I have heard of another physician recommending in a long time. Is he/she a board certified plastic surgeon? It sounds like they are trying to get you to book with them because they have something special. Once you make the inframmary incisions all the "advantages" of the TUBA procedure have been nullified. I have done about 100 TUBA procedures in the past three to five years. Find a different Plastic Surgeon.

Happy New Year! Dr. Kearney
