Scarless Breast Augmentation
If you are considering breast augmentation, scarless breast augmentation might be an ideal option for you. This procedure lets you achieve your desired shape and breast volume using a single incision hidden inside your belly button (umbilicus).
How Does Scarless Breast Augmentation Work?
Scarless breast augmentation, also known as transumbilical breast augmentation (TUBA), is a simple way to enlarge your breasts. However, it does require advanced training. This procedure allows your plastic surgeon to place breast implants without incisions. In fact, there are no visible incisions anywhere on your body.
While this procedure is not right for everyone, it may be an ideal option for you if you want to enhance your breasts but want to keep your breast enlargement your “secret.”
What Techniques Are Used in Scarless Breast Augmentation?
Scarless breast augmentation is also referred to as Transumbilical Breast Augmentation or TUBA. This method of surgery is referred to as minimally invasive, where the breasts can be augmented while causing minimal scarring.
Incision
This tiny little incision within the belly button is the first incision to be used in scarless breast augmentation. This marks the point where the whole procedure is carried out. The scar placed from this point will become so well-positioned that it will nearly be unnoticeable.
Pocket Creation
Your surgeon will pass a highly specialized instrument through the minuscule incision through the belly button. They will then use the instrument to create a specified pocket under the breast tissue. This pocket is an extremely critical factor for the firm positioning of the breast implant. Skill and experience by the surgeon will be required to ensure that the pocket is appropriately sized and sited.
Implant placement
When the pocket is prepared, your surgeon will select a breast implant suitable for the patient’s desired size and shape. The implant is placed very carefully in the prepared pocket. He takes enough care to place it in such a way as to achieve a natural result without any imbalance. The improved breasts will be proportionate with the body and add harmony to the entire look.
Closure
After the implant has been positioned, the minuscule incision inside the navel is closed. The surgeon is quite finicky about closing the incision so as not to scar much and ensure a perfect healing process. In most cases, sutures are dissolvable. Therefore, suture removal is not required.
Benefits of Scarless Breast Augmentation
Scarless breast augmentation, or TUBA, offers a range of advantages that make it an appealing option for many individuals seeking breast enhancement.
Minimal Scarring
This makes TUBA a relatively ideal surgical procedure in modern surgery. Other benefits of TUBA include the fact that it leaves only small scars. A small incision made internally at the navel heals secretly with little or no evidence of scarring. It is particularly beneficial for people who get easily disturbed by evident scarring and require a more natural result.
Rapid Recovery
The recovery time is speedier when compared to other far more conservative procedures in breast augmentation. Patients mostly manage to get back their life with little downtime and with minimal discomfort.
Natural and Balanced Results
Once posed beautifully by a navel incision, the overall look and result will come out pretty naturally. Since the incision will be hidden behind the breast tissue, everything will be smoothed aesthetically.
Less Pain and Discomfort
Slight interference with tissues during the process would mean minimal post-surgical pain and discomfort. Patients generally recover fast and require less pain medication.
Improved Self-Confidence
Increased breast size and shape mean enhanced self-confidence and body image. Most of the patients feel that they are more beautiful and that the outcome of the surgery is satisfactory after undergoing this process.
Recovery Tips After Scarless Breast Augmentation Surgery
Follow Post-Operative Instructions
To achieve the best healing and desired outcome, strictly follow the post-operative care instructions given by your surgeon. Your surgeon will provide specific instructions for your individual needs.
Such instructions may include drug recommendations, wound care advice, restriction of activities, and dietary recommendations. By strictly following such instructions, complications are reduced, and a smooth recovery can be promoted.
Use a Surgical Bra
This may be the time to begin using a supportive surgical bra. The bra will help reduce the swelling, support the breast, and ensure proper healing.
Your surgeon will recommend the type and time frame for wearing the specific bra. Wearing the bra just as directed will improve your comfort levels while accelerating the healing process.
Avoid Strenuous Activities
The head needs to be elevated for the prescribed period of time post-surgery. This would be too strenuous for the patient. The more a person does physically, the higher the risks for bleeding, infection, and dislocation of the implant.
Keeping one’s activity level low means letting the body concentrate on healing and reducing the chances of anything going wrong.
Elevate Your Head
Lifting the head off the pillow will reduce swelling and pain. This will optimize drainage and minimize fluid accumulation in the surgical site. This simple maneuver may help enhance comfort and promote healing.
Attend Follow-Up Appointments
This is a crucial and usual follow-up with your surgeon as you heal and when some issues may crop up. Your surgeon will check out the incision, implant positioning, and how everything is going on, but by attending these appointments, you can get timely care that ensures proper recovery.
