Is Scarless Breast Augmentation a Myth?

Scarless breast augmentation is not only very real it is becoming more and more popular because of its many advantages. It has come as a boon for women who want to have breast augmentation without any scar or the complications related to the earlier breast augmentation procedures. How is it possible to get surgical enlargement of the breasts without leaving any scars? Well, it is not only possible, but also it is slowly becoming a normal procedure. Read on to find out all about scarless breast augmentation.

Scarless breast augmentation is medically known as transumbilical breast augmentation or TUBA. As the name suggests the navel which is a portion of the umbilical cord that is removed after childbirth. It is the only natural scar on a woman's body. The TUBA procedure uses the navel as the entry point for advanced and specialized surgical tools. A very small incision is made at the navel and the instruments are inserted through this incision to reach the breasts using the path just under the skin thus avoiding any contact with the internal organs of the abdomen or chest.

Thus the necessity for any incision on the surface of the breast is completely avoided and therefore no scar is left on the breasts making scarless breast augmentation a reality. In addition to this the usual complications arising from the earlier surgical procedures are avoided. Any damage to the neurological or glandular tissues inside the breasts is also avoided as the implants are placed through the abdominal cavity inside the breasts' interior. The use of endoscope makes the procedure very precise. The implants are filled after placing them.

Scarless breast enhancement has many distinct benefits. The obvious benefit is of course aesthetic. The development of ugly scars on the breasts had prompted many women to avoid surgical breast augmentation. Now that the possibility of scars is completely avoided many women are opting for it. Another major advantage is that as no cut is made on the nipple, areola or the mound of the breasts any possible damage to the nerves and glands responsible for sensations and breastfeeding is completely avoided.

Whether the location of placement of the implants is subglandular, subpectoral or submuscualr, TUBA can do it safely and easily. Moreover, there is no danger of the implants putting the fresh incisions under any pressure, thus preventing post surgical complications. There is also no danger of the implants slipping to the underarm area during sexual activity. Itching and irritation of the incision scars from contact with the bra is also avoided. Very little anesthesia is used.

Because of the fast post surgical recovery hospital expenses are avoided to a great extent. In fact no hospital stay in necessary and the patient is discharged within a few hours of the surgery. No wonder therefore, scarless breast augmentation is becoming popular among women.
