Port Site Bruising?

Hello all. I recently had a fill so I know bruising can result but I don't think this is from the fill. The same attendant did my fill as she has every other time. She pulses the site to find the port but never presses very hard and one stick and she is done. I have recently began sleeping on my stomach again and have shed quite a bit of my weight from my abdomen could the port getting closer to the surface of the skin be a reason for this bruising.

Yes. Also, I bruise my port site every time I bump into something and hit that area.

Also ... be careful not to pop the sutures holding your port to your muscles. I did that with a SNEEZE earlier this week. It feels like popping / ripping your insides open. Not fun.
