The procedure can be used to place implants behind the breast tissue or behind the muscles, and the implants can be easily centered. Obviously, the major advantage of TUBA incisions is the ultimate result—beautiful, smooth breasts with no scars.
TUBA incisions aren't recommended for everyone. Dr. Wang will by happy to discuss the technique with you and help you decide whether you are a good candidate.

Related Patient Testimonial
Surgery can be such a dreadful procedure, especially cosmetic surgery! You ponder whether or not you are going to get the results that you want. My experience with Dr. Wang was never once dreadful and my results were FABULOUS (more than I ever dreamed of)!! I had my breast augmentation done through the umbilical procedure. I knew that I wanted my breast to look like "my breast" but just more voluptuous. Scars on my breast would obviously give away that they were implants and give me a daily reminder of my surgery. After surgery, the only discomfort I felt was pressure on my chest and my abdomen felt sore, as if I had done 500 crunches the night before. I was back to work in 6 days (which may vary for others). I have no visible scars on my navel and my abdomen looks great with no trace that there was ever a passage way from my navel to my breast. Dr. Wang and his staff have truly mastered the cosmetic industry on great physical results and the warm, safe welcoming of plastic surgery! Thank you once again!
Extremely satisfied,

Treatment for Deep Lines and Scars is Now Just a Few Pinpricks Away
Finally there's a minimally-invasive way to correct deep lines and scars. Called SurgiWire™, it's an "incisionless" way to treat facial defects. With SurgiWire™, Dr. Wang can smooth and minimize problems such as:
- Wrinkles between the eyebrows
- Creases between the nose and corners of the mouth
- Facial scars
Men and women with these conditions were, until recently, presented with two main choices. Surgery, the option most likely to achieve dramatic improvement, brings significant downtime along with it. Fillers, though much less invasive, sometimes yield only modest improvement.
SurgiWire™ combines the best of both—impressive results with minimal downtime. The way it works is to "release" the top layers of skin from their underlying attachments. SurgiWire™ technology can be used alone or in conjunction with other minimally invasive treatments or fillers. Dr. Wang looks forward to exploring the exciting possibilities with you.

New Breast Augmentation Choices
Given the FDA's recent approval of high-strength silicone breast implants, sometimes referred to as "gummy bear implants," it's a great time for those considering breast augmentation to take the next step and seek consultation. Now there's a choice of implant technology—silicone and saline. If you have felt undecided about whether augmentation is right for you or dissatisfied with a past procedure, this may well be the right time to move forward.
As a board-certified plastic surgeon who strives to keep up with the very latest developments in medicine, Dr. Wang was pleased to hear of this month's FDA decision to re-approve silicone implants. "I followed the FDA's research for more than a decade," he said, "and I concur with the FDA's conclusion that the devices are safe."
Silicone implants constructed with the new, high-strength, semi-solid gel material, tend to feel more natural than saline devices and look more like natural breasts. Dr. Wang is ready to listen to your priorities and discuss your options, helping you reach the decision that's best for you.
