Port Site Looks "Sunken in"?!?!

[bdjohns 1]

I was banded 08/18/2011. I'm healing great, but I have a strange question that I haven't been able to find the answer to. At the top of my port incision spot, it looks like my skin is kinda sunk in. Idk if it from the swelling that is still lingering on the inside or what. It doens't hurt, just looks a little strange...Has anyone else noticed anythign like this?!?!

I was banded on 8-17-11 and I have that too. It is funny looking, but not painful. Mine feels bumpy too. All my other other incision looks great with Nice straight lines and clean looking scars. I have a friend who had surgery two years ago who had this same thing. Hers 'leveled' out as she lost weight and is barely noticeable. Let's keep our fingers crossed that ours do too I cant wait to see if others have this too.

Yeah I have the same thing. It looks like a crater or indent right?? Was banded 8/24 and I still have it. It doesn't hurt, but that incision is the one that is healing the slowest. Mine now actually looks like it has some bruising on the top of it even though it doesn't hurt. It's really weird. I'm glad someone else has something similar. I go to the doctor 9/13 so I'm going to ask then why it looks that way.

Indention is a good description of it

[bdjohns 1]

yep...indention describes it very well. And it does look kinda bruised around it now, even though it is not painful. Thanks for the feedback! I just wanted to make sure I was healing "normal"!!

I had an infection of the skin around my port site and incision and it was swollen. Now that the infection is pretty much gone and the swelling has gone down my port incision is indented as well.

Looks funny because my port is on its side (still fillable) so it is a lump and beside that is a mini crater. LOL.

I was banded on September 6th and mine looks the same way. I thought they might have taken some skin from me but now I know I'm not alone.

Yep, mine looked the same way. I was banded over a year ago. As you heal and lose weight, it will gradually get back to normal.

I'm not recently banded, but as I've lost weight my incisions, more so my port incision seem indented too, like I've lost more fat from their. Must have something to do with the actual trauma to it.
