Jachut 487 Posted August 30, 2005 OK, so when I'm at goal weight - at the very bottom of my healthy range and with wash board abs (OK, no reality checks here, a girl can dream cant she?) will the port "show" ? Its about half an inch thick right? When there's no fat there and perfectly toned skin, is their going to be a visible lump? Lets ignore the fact that I've had 3 babies just for the moment and the likelihood of ever having a tummy like that is non existent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bandmesoon 0 Posted August 30, 2005 I too am not at goal weight, I weigh 180 lbs and since losing 44lbs, I definitley can feel it alot more than before, my dr told me the "skinnier" I get, the more noticable it will be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jachut 487 Posted August 30, 2005 I guess when I'm a bikini model they can airbrush it out anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kyleighp 3 Posted August 31, 2005 Ihave 40 more pounds to lose, but i can feel the port more and the most when I lay down, like a "knob" on my side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mariposa Bella 3 Posted August 31, 2005 Well, I am 10 lbs from goal weight of 137 and since my port had to get stitched back into place (was flipped) it is hardly noticable. (My stomach is really flat except for a little puffiness on my lower abs) and after my surgery I couldn't find my port and well it lays perfectly flat and the only reason I know where its at because my port scar is there and I can feel for it. But don't be too concerned with it sticking out once at goal, it can always be repaired with some minor surgery if it is too noticable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HotLikeMe 0 Posted August 31, 2005 My surgeon's brother is a plastic surgeon. He's done several tummy tucks on my doctor's patients once they've reached their goal. My doctor said that there is a low profile port that they can put in before the Tummy Tuck so that it won't show up as much. They don't put the low profile one in initially because it's much harder to do fills with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
