The dream of a beautiful figure is coming true for thousands of woman through saline
breast implants ,but there was a price to pay for larger *** ' visible scars ' which
made the breast augmentation easily detectable. Manhattan Plastic Surgeon Dr. Robert Vitolo
says: Now there is a way to have the enhancement of saline breast implants without any visible
scar on or near the breast. It's a revolutionary procedure TUBA transumbilical that is changing
breast surgery in a big way. Find out about it next on Healthwise.
This operation is normally performed in a regular operating room. Dr. Robert Vitolo
a Brooklyn plastic surgeon performs the breast augmentation surgery. Here you can see the
operating room staff and what I am going to do now is to begin marking a line from the
belly button towards the breast. This will be the line that we follow when we place the
introducer underneath the skin. This is the first introducer that we use to make a preliminary
pocket just underneath the skin and either underneath the breast tissue or underneath
the muscle sub-muscular or bellow the muscle. We gently slide this up just underneath the
skin surface this does not go inside the abdomen. There is absolutely no danger to the abdominal
organs. Here we are using a larger introducer to insert underneath the breast tissue and
through this we insert a special instrument called an endoscope. You can see on the video
monitor that we are actually looking at the tissue as we insert the endoscope in there.
The white is the breast tissue and the red bellow is the muscle. Now you notice that
there is basically no bleeding in this operation. The implant of course can also be inserted
beneath the muscle depending on the patients preference. An saline breast implant is selected
from Mentor or Allergan Natrelle Here we are beginning the insertion of the actual breast
implant itself. Here we take the breast implant that has a long tube attached to a self sealing
valve. We roll it up so it is sort of looks like a cigar. We then insert it into the hollow
tube that acts as a pusher. We actually don't insert the breast implant thru the tube. We
use the tube to push the implant up until it lies in a pocket underneath the breast
tissue sub-glandular position or over the muscle. We then begin filling the implant
with a sterile saline solution. You'll see that in a moment. Saline is a natural body
component and consequently when we begin filling the implant with saline the implant will unroll
and assume its final volume. You can see the opposite side has already been done. Now we
are inserting the saline until the side we are doing now is the same size as the other
side. The saline is kept sterile by using a special sealed tube mechanism and a syringe.
And we inflate it and here you see the patients being put into an erect position so that we
can determine the shape and size. And you see that the *** look very natural. We
close the belly button and that is the end of the procedure. For more information please
