Bellybutton Port Incision?



Recommended Posts

I was curious about the port incision. When I went to my surgeons office to have my blood work completed we discussed my incisions. He told me he would make three small ones and a fourth where the port will be inserted through my bellybutton. I know every surgeon does things a bit different but from the info I have been seeing online I haven't come across anyone who had the port inserted in this manner. Has anyone had their port inserted like this?

Thats where mine is. My port is just to the left side and just about an inch above the bellybutton.

Mine too. I have a sad face scar around half my belly button. Mine is just to the right side. I thought it would be an odd location, but it's working just fine!

That's where mine is. I have four total. Two to the right and left side of my upper belly, and one larger incision just above my belly button with a small incision just above my port to left of my belly button. I'm almost 2 months out and they are healing beautifully.
