Low Profile Port

Every now and then, I see a post by someone talking about a low profile port. I've done an Internet search, but I can't find any information on this type of port. Is there another name for it?

    I'm short-waisted and my surgeon believes the low-profile port will work better for me. Fortunately, all fills are done under fluoro so the port size isn't an issue.
