Am I a Good Candidate for TUBA?
If you are considering breast augmentation and are curious about the endoscopic TUBA procedure, you will want to make sure that you are right for this method of augmentation. TUBA may be right for you if you are healthy, over the age of 18, do not smoke, and are looking to increase the size of naturally small breasts or restore volume that has been lost due to factors such as pregnancy, weight fluctuation or aging.
The TUBA procedure is only for women wanting saline implants for their surgery with Dr. Haiavy. Silicone gel implants cannot be safely placed using the umbilical procedure since they are made pre-filled with the cohesive gel solution.
Women wanting to minimize scarring from their breast augmentation may be a good candidate for the transumbilical approach. Discussing your breast augmentation options with Rancho Cucamonga fellowship trained cosmetic surgeons, Dr. Jacob Haiavy, Dr. Irene Tower, and Dr. Emma Ryan will help to determine whether you are a good candidate for TUBA or if another form of breast augmentation will be better suited for your expectations.
