Transumbilical Breast Augmentation is widely accepted procedure, but only a few cosmetic surgeons in California are performing this method of breast augmentation.  With over eleven years of surgical training and a decade of experience teaching the TUBA technique, Dr. Shumway is the premier physician on the West Coast performing TUBA.

Breast enhancement is one of the most frequently performed cosmetic procedures. It is done to enlarge small or underdeveloped breasts, or for those whose breasts have decreased in size after pregnancy, in an effort to improve ones' overall appearance.

As the premier physician in San Diego performing the TUBA method, Dr. Shumway will help each patient decide during consultation which implant size, shape, and implant placement is most appropriate.

Implants can be placed either under the breast tissue (above the muscle) or under the pectoralis muscle via:

- Navel (TUBA/Transumbilical)

- Nipple (periareolar)

- Under the breast (inframammary)

- Thru the arm pit (transaxillary)
