I'd definitely be calling my surgeon. A bruise with no history of injury (like, if you weren't punched near the port site yesterday) can indicate bleeding, and if you're bleeding internally near your port, you need to see your surgeon ASAP. Good luck!

Did you have a fill recently? I bruised a little bit after my first fill. It went away.
