@peterj116 No Dr. Chan did not show us a model of the device. He said he has done about 40 of these procedures and trained at the hospital in Texas where the device was initially made. For some reason I thought everything was under the skin -LOL. Better it's right where u can see it. Thank you so much for being so helpful and caring. It really helps and we are grateful!!!

@mirsy
Yes, it is all under the skin.
That's a model of the device, for getting used to it. It's a shame you weren't given one.
There are lots of videos of animations, showing how it works.
But I only found one video of it actually being used.


(naughty bit is around the 6-minute mark. You must be over 18 to view)

Here's another photo of the device & the instruction cards
