"dimpled" port site

[MaineJackie 3]

Hi,

My port site is "dimpled". (The skin is sucked in at the port site.) I am still having moderate pain at the port site.....pain that is still sharp and acute (not the dull, resolving type of pain.)

I was just wondering if anyone else's port site is dimpled?

This is common sometimes it is caused from adhesions or scar tissue at the incision site. try getting some Vitamin e oil or some bio oil and try massaging your incision site, it helps loosen the skin adhesions. try doing it while your watching tv or whatever. It does help you have o do it for a while, several months if it has been a while since your surgery
