Yes, you can have breast implants placed partially underneath the pectoralis major muscle with the TUBA technique. During TUBA, a short J- or C-shaped incision is made within your belly button and empty saline breast implants are moved into place using endoscopy, a procedure in which the surgeon uses a tiny fiber-optic camera to view the interior of the breast.
