cosmetic procedures in the United States today. It can drastically improve the
appearance of a woman?s breasts. The enhancement procedure is used to enlarge
small breasts, underdeveloped breasts, or breasts that have decreased in size

saline implant leak, the salt water is safely reabsorbed by the body as the
implant deflates. Most of the implant companies provide replacement warranty.

The procedure
Transumbilical breast augmentation is performed on an outpatient basis using
general or local anesthesia. This popular way of performing breast augmentation
is through an incision in the navel. Utilizing this technique, no incisions are
made on the breast or into the breast tissue.
A small incision is made in your belly button. Through this incision, a slender
instrument passes under the skin to a location behind the breast tissue. Next, a
tissue expander is inserted and placed under the breast. With this expander, a
space is developed to create a pocket for the implant size you?ve requested. The
position and size of this pocket is verified. Then, an empty saline implant is
placed in the pocket and filled with sterile saline. The surgeon can adjust the
amount of saline injected into your implant based on the size you have selected
and help correct asymmetry of your breasts. The incision in your navel is closed
with a few absorbable stitches.

An advantage of this technique compared with other techniques is that no
incision is made on the breast or into the breast tissue.
