TUG Flap
New Breasts and a Thigh Lift
In the Transverse Upper Gracilis (TUG) flap procedure, our surgeons can transfer excess tissue from the inner thigh to form new breasts. As with our other microsurgery techniques, the TUG can preserve muscle tissue while creating a natural looking breast from a woman's own skin, fat and blood vessels. Often a TUG Flap is a preferred method for women who are very lean, have already had a tummy tuck, who prefer to leave their abdomen/buttocks scar-free or simply don't have enough extra tissue in another area of their body.
