4. Can I have implants placed behind (under) the pectoral muscle with TUBA?
Yes, you have the option of having your implants placed partially underneath the pectoralis major muscle with the TUBA technique. Although some doctors may say that it can't be done because they, themselves, have not trained nor have perfected the technique. We know many, many patients who have received sub-pectoral placement with the TUBA approach. The fact of the matter may be the implant placement is more difficult with the TUBA and many surgeons may be unwilling to learn a new technique.
