Port Flipped

I didn't have any idea that mine was flipped. I can feel a hard spot where my port is but I think everyone can feel that.

My fill doctor said that a lot of surgeons only tack the port in one spot which makes it flip easily. he says he tacks it down on both sides so it can't flip. Don't know if this is true or not, but do you know how the port was stitched in originally?

I didn`t know where my port was until I went for my 1st fill. It should have been situated immediately in the centre under my breast but the dr couldn`t manipulate it back in place. Now I am waiting to have a fill by a Xray. Luckily I am under NHS and it won`t be costing me anything.

They found out mine was flipped 6 months post-op, but from the history of fills, it was flipped since the first month. I personally never felt anything sitting around.. however, when I did fills, he always pushed down on the port, and this was miserable. That hurt a LOT, and I thought it was normal. But now that my port is fixed, it does NOT hurt to push on it, so I assume it had to do with being flipped.

I just posted under complications that my port flipped. Tomorrow I am going to have it repositioned but its going to be done under local. Anyone have experience with having it done under a local?

Dr also said she could fill me then...which I am SO ready for (1st fill)
