Low Profile Port

[tonya66 13]

I went to my seminar and asked the doctor if he would install a low profile port vs. the regular and they called it a "designers port" but said he could, he would just have to order it. So i'm getting it! He says most doctors won't do it in the beginning because it make the fills a little harder to get to, but he does his under fluro so it would not be a problem, just more money. But hey, whats another $700? lol. I'm excited! Don't have a surgery date yet, but can't wait to get one.

I'm short-waisted and my surgeon believes the low-profile port will work better for me. Fortunately, all fills are done under fluoro so the port size isn't an issue.

It's called a "Positport"

Every now and then, I see a post by someone talking about a low profile port. I've done an Internet search, but I can't find any information on this type of port. Is there another name for it?
