Where is the port. I can't find it. . Is it around the umbilicus area? There sure isn't one on the side. Had surgery yesteday so I am still to sore to poke around the belly button.

Mine is on the front of my stomach, just above my belly button but off to my left side. One of my incisions is RIGHT next to it. I'm sure you'll be able to find it once you heal a little. Mine is extremely close to the skin though, so I can feel mine almost all of the time!

Thanks.. to sore to find it if it is around that area.. just paranoid it had slipped .

Mine's a few inches underneath my right breast. I can feel it now (2 weeks post-op), but the big indicator was that my largest scar is there...the other three scars are all an inch or less long, while the scar by the port is almost three inches! My post-op doctor (not the same as my initial doctor) instantly knew where the port was by looking at the scar lengths.

Mine is in the umbilicus region. My largest scar is in my belly button and I have 2 other tiny little scars. I can feel it a little. I first notice that I was really swollen right there. If I look at myself in the mirror from the side, there is a big lump there.

Mine is on the right side, a few inches under my ribcage. Can you see your incisions? If so, it will be near the biggest one. Trust me, if anything slips or moves at this point, you are really going to feel it.

Mine is about an inch below my xiphoid process right smack in the middle. It's nowhere near any of my incisions and was nowhere near any of the bruising after my surgery. Your port location may remain a bit of a mystery until your first fill but trust me, you'll find out eventually.

mine is on the right side of my belly, just a bit north of my bellybutton. It's right under the biggest (3") scar. Yours must be around that big scar, I mean, it had to get in there somehow right?
