Where's your port?

Mine is dead center right 2-3 inches below bra line. It seems to be a good spot for me. No chance of ever seeing cleavage that far down.

Finally coming back to post and tell where my port is and it is on my left side about 6 or 7 inches out to the side of my belly button but higher than my belly button by just a bit! I like the fact that you can't see it and it is not uncomfortable and doesn't rub at my waist!

Hi! Mine is about an inch below my ribcage on the left side by 3 inches to the right of my sternum. I don't like where it is because my underwire bras tend to touch it. It also hits me right at the level of my desk at work. I'm short so I have short little arms too so to reach my keyboard I have to be close. Ok, I'm not a midget but only a statuesque, voluptuous 5'3". I think I have my goal set too low.....

I have heard of a "mini port". Anyone know anything about this?

I'm beginning to get worried that my port location is protruding so much that it shows when I wear thinner fabrics, such as t-shirts. The port is located about 6-8 inches directly above my navel. It's beginning to look like a third boob almost!! I asked my dr. about it this week and he said I may have a hernia there, and the port is a "floater." He said the hernia didn't have to be repaired right away, and that he'd fix it when he put in a smaller port, and would probably move the port to another location at that time. I didn't know we had to get a smaller port. Did any of you? Do any of you have a little hill where your port is?

My port is above my waistline, below my left ribcage, pretty well out of the way for me except when I have my son too high on my hip. Gotta watch out for little squeezy knees!

My doc uses the smaller port, he said. Don't know if it's officailly called the mini-port. But the area where you can inject the fill is the same size as the "old" Inamed port, just the actual piece is smaller in diameter. It's apparently the newer model? That's how it was explained to me, and we actually saw both ports and were able to compare. Not that big of a difference, really.

Hey, Jamie, isn't it fun to come back to these threads and actually have an opinion/response, SOMEthing to say? I can't believe I have a port!!! I have a port! wow!

Hey Suburban, I have a little hill but I'm only two weeks out from surgery, so don't know if that has something to do with it. Plus mine is in my left belly, not at my bra-line so...keep us posted on how that goes, it's very interesting! Hope you get more responses to that!
