My initial umbilical breast augmentation (TUBA Method) went great giving me full C's. After enjoying them for several months I decided I wanted to go larger.
Dr. Kim of Beverly Hills Aesthetic Plastic Surgery was able to perform the revision surgery using the umbilical method. He was able to remove my old implants through my belly button and insert the new ones.
I couldn't be happier with the results and am amazed he was able to do everything with this no scar method.
Typically, a breast implant can be inserted either under the breast tissue (over the muscle) or under the breast muscle (further below the breast tissue). With the intention of minimizing scaring, incisions can be made in either the armpit (transaxillary incision), along the areola (the darker skin surrounding the nipple known as the periareolar incision), or under the breast at the crease. Depending on the implant and surgeon's preference, an incision can also be made in the belly button to insert the implant (transumbilical breast augmentation or TUBA). The exact location of the implant will depend on your anatomy, the look you want to achieve, and your doctor's recommendation.
Dr. Kim is dedicated to attaining the best results possible while maintaining a philosophy of safety first. He is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. This is the only plastic surgery board recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties. View Plastic Surgery Photos of Dr. Kim in action !
