Introduction To Scarless Breast Implants
Breast augmentation typically involves incisions in the inframammary crease, the armpit, or around the areola. These methods are the most commonly performed technique to insert synthetic implants and enhance breast size. Unfortunately, while these treatments have been helpful for many patients, they require incisions that take many months to heal and leave visible scars.
However, in 1993, breakthroughs in breast augmentation introduced a new way to increase size without conspicuous scars: transumbilical breast augmentation. It was soon discovered the procedure had other benefits, including a quicker recovery time, less discomfort, and less chance of complications.
TUBA incisions are made on the upper inside edge of the belly button, which is often also called a “belly button implant.” Two diagonal passageways are created safely above the muscle and beneath the subcutaneous fat. These passageways stretch upwards from the navel to each breast and allow Dr. Ahmed to place empty, rolled-up implants in each breast. Once the implants reach the breast pocket, they will be secured in place either in front of or behind the pectoral muscle and filled with saline to the desired volume.
Women wanting an alluring breast profile but who prefer not to have visible scars will benefit significantly from a scarless breast implant treatment. In addition, patients will see other advantages, including:
A scarless breast implant amplifies the breast volume with minimal incisions and faster procedure time. But, before we begin, it is essential to assess your eligibility and ensure this treatment can deliver your expected results.

Getting Started
Dr. Mustafa Ahmed is a passionate triple-board-certified surgeon dedicated to providing excellent patient outcomes and pursuing additional training to perform TUBA procedures safely and successfully. Not all surgeons offer this procedure! Dr. Ahmed created Las Vegas Body Sculpting and Aesthetic to offer patients a one-of-a-kind experience inside an ultramodern office in the Paradise area of Las Vegas.
Your consultation is a two-way discussion about how the procedure can benefit you. After a brief patient interview and physical examination, you’ll have the chance to discuss your concerns. After Dr. Ahmed learns more about your preferences, you’ll discuss your ideal breast size, and he will show you how the procedure works. If a TUBA is right for you, we’ll make an appointment for your treatment.

While in the treatment room, patients will receive anesthesia to optimize their comfort. Once it has taken effect, a small incision (about 2 cm) is made with round-tip scissors inside the belly button.
He will then delicately guide a slender tool between the rectus fascia, the tissue layer covering the abdominal muscles, and subcutaneous fat to create passageways towards each breast. After the passage to the breast is ready, a tissue expander is moved upwards through the tunnel into the future home of the implant. It is then filled with saline to create symmetrical breast pockets at the required size in each breast.
After being deflated and withdrawn, a deflated implant is navigated towards the breast pocket. During the surgery, an endoscope is inserted at various stages to ensure that both the tunnel and the devices are correctly placed. Once the implant is secured in place, it is inflated to the desired dimensions with a sterile saline solution. When the filling tubes are removed, the valve on the implant automatically seals shut. Finally, Dr. Ahmed will close the navel incision with dissolvable sutures and place a compression garment over the treated areas.
Because TUBA is minimally invasive, patients experience fewer side effects and a shorter recovery. However, getting plenty of rest and following your post-op instructions is still important to ensure your healing progresses quickly. Patients can expect soreness, discoloration, and swelling for the first week or so. Most patients see a vast improvement in their symptoms after two weeks, at which point the implants have settled into place. You’ll return for follow-up appointments, during which Dr. Ahmed will assess your progress and advise you as to when you can return to more strenuous activities and workouts.
Once your recovery is complete, it’s time to celebrate! Your new long-lasting contours will positively impact your body image, confidence, and wardrobe!
