14. I have heard the chance of infection is lessened with TUBA. Is this true?
Although there is always the chance of infection due to unforeseen problems such as improper wound care post-operatively, or the rare chance of bacteria on the surface of the breast implant, chances of infections are usually lessened due to the placement of the incision and the lack of implant-breast tissue exposure. The incision is not near the breast tissue nor is the breast implant is ever passed through the actual skin where staph naturally lives on the surface of our skin. Plus the ducts within the breast are never cut or disturbed which would release this bacteria nor is the implant passed through this ductwork where bacteria naturally lives. The implant is passed through an endotube which is inserted into your navel so that it has an untainted passageway into your body. If in the event that the incision site develops an infection, the tunnels created for insertion are usually closed or closing and the infection remains in the navel area.
