Belly Button Breast Augmentation · by Dr. BBL

The B³ Technique™

Breast augmentation without breast incisions. Silicone or saline implants are placed beneath the muscle through a small incision hidden inside the belly button, so there is no incision on the breast. Now offered in Burnsville, MN.

What the B³ Technique™ is

The B³ Technique™ by Dr. BBL is a specialized transumbilical approach. It places silicone or saline implants beneath the muscle through a discreet incision hidden within the belly button, leaving no incision on the breast.

B³ stands for Belly Button Breast augmentation. Most breast augmentations use an incision under the breast, around the nipple, or in the armpit. With B³, the only incision sits inside the natural fold of your navel, where it is very hard to see once healed.

No incision on the breast

Nothing under the fold, nothing around the areola, nothing in the armpit.

Silicone or saline

Both implant options are available for primary breast augmentation. You choose type and size with Dr. Balgobin at consultation.

Beneath the muscle

Implants are placed under the chest muscle for added coverage and a natural slope.

Who it may be right for

Not everyone is a candidate. Your anatomy, the implant size you want, and your health history all matter. Dr. Balgobin will tell you honestly at consultation whether B³ or a different approach is the better fit for you.

How it works

1. Consultation and sizing

Dr. Balgobin examines you, reviews your goals, and helps you choose silicone or saline, plus size and profile.

2. One small incision

You are comfortable under general or IV anesthesia. A short incision is made inside the belly button. The implant pocket is created beneath the chest muscle from there.

3. Implant placement

The implants are placed beneath the muscle and positioned for symmetry and a natural shape.

4. Recovery and follow-up

You go home the same day with clear instructions. Dr. Balgobin's team follows you closely through healing.
