2. I have heard that the TUBA procedure is scarless, it this true?
The TUBA technique is considered scarless" as the incision is hidden within the navel (belly button), camouflaged by the natural creases. With traditional techniques, the the tell-tale scars are often very visible underneath the breasts, around the areola (the dark pink or brown skin) or underneath the arms. Although some patients' scars from the peri-areolar and trans-axillary techniques are practically invisible 3 years post operatively. It would be better defined as endoscopic.
