Navel

Comparison of Navel before and after Trans-Umbilical Breast Augmentation

Pre-Op	Post-Op

A small incision is made in the fold of skin, which overlies the belly button (navel), so the scar will not be visible. A blunt instrument called an obturator is used to gently tunnel under the skin to the level of the breast crease. If the implant is to be placed under the breast tissue, the dissection is performed on top of the muscle in the loose connective tissue plane between the muscle and the breast tissue.

Besides eliminating scars on or near the breasts, this method allowed both breast implants to be placed through a single incision.
