Just got back from getting fill #13.... i was at 10.5 before my Tummy Tuck, PS took out all the fill, so today was fill #3 post TT. back at 10.5... hope this is the spot again.

I'm going to be honest..... it depends on how your doctor does your fill. My doctor puts a rolled up pillow behind my back.... This pushes the port up so he can fill it better. He always does a great job and the most i fill is a prick of the needle.

On the other hand the other doctor that practices with him does not put the pillow and makes you do kind of a crunch.... that one hurt... i did not like it at all.

Every doctor is different...... But all in all..... it is pretty much pain free.

lucky me, my dr numbs it first, which is a good thing because last time after he put some in, he had to take some right back out.
