Scar-Less Breast Augmentation

You can now enjoy Breast Augmentation without the tell-tale signs of surgery. Transumbilical Breast Augmentation, commonly referred to as T.U.B.A., places breast implants through the belly button. Traditional methods place visible scars on the breast or armpit. Because the belly button is a natural scar from birth, the incision is completely hidden.

The surgery has created a lot of controversy in the past by surgeons and patients. Surgeons who have not been trained in the technique deny its efficacy even though there are less complications and less physical stress to the patient. Many patients sometimes fear that it may distort their navel or abdomen. Although this is theoretically possible, in skilled hands it would be extremely rare. I have performed Transumbilical Breast Augmentation on runway models that were back on the catwalk in one week.

It is less invasive because you're not cutting through tissue like the traditional methods; with special instruments the area for the implant is expanded. Some of the many advantages are:

  • No scars on the Breasts
  • The surgery is quicker, this means its safer less anesthesia risks
  • No cutting, less risks of nerve damage to the nipple
  • Less risks of Bleeding
  • Less interruption of normal Breast Tissue
  • Quicker recovery, less invasive
  • High satisfaction rate


Patients enjoy a quick recovery to their everyday routine, report a high self esteem and increased confidence with their body image. Now you can enjoy the breast you've always dreamed of without the scars.
