Yeah.

Yeah.

A transaxillary breast augmentation.

Yes, what does that mean?

So there are many ways to put it in, to insert them.

You can do it, it used to be when it first came out, through underneath the breast, the inframammary crease.

Then we started doing it through the nipple because that's a good place to cosmetically camouflage it and hide it because there's a color change.

Then someone said, you know, let's put it in the armpit.

And that was very popular for a short time because generally we like to put them under the muscle.

And it's hard to release the muscle down here where the pectoralis muscle inserts from that far away.

So very commonly, because you can't release them that much, they kind of can sit high.

And then if you flex, like you're at the gym, they go...

And that doesn't look good.

So transaxillary is not popular anymore.

For a while, we were doing it through the belly button.

Transumbilical.

Yeah.

Make a little incision.

But then a few people, this is a little graphic, put that tube in through the heart.

Oh, God.
