Hi everyone,

I have a question regarding port location please help. I have read many posting about the port being located under the breast by the bra line. However my port is much lower under right breast between mid section & belly button more towards the right. I have the realize band. I am tall 5'11. Just wondering if anyone else has the port lower than bra line?

It sounds as if my port is located similar to where yours is, except towards the left a little more. I think the location really depends on the surgeon.

Mine is perfectly located (so far) between bra line and the navel slightly to the right. Not in the way or under belt or bra line.

Mine is a realize band and the port is located just above the waistline on the left side.

My 'porthole' is WAY lower than that- it's about 2 inches North East of my belly button. (Or South West, if I'm looking down at it!)

It's cool- a little too high to worry about waistbands pressing on it, but easy to get access to once my fills start.

Mine is on the left, about 3-4 inches above my waist, but just slightly to the left of my midline. It's in a good place when I'm standing. But when I sit, there's still a roll there and it tends to bump against stuff... lol. I can feel it quite prominently and asked my surgeon about it and he said that as I lose weight it will settle into my abdomen, that he has never seen one visible to the naked eye on a skinny bandster. Whew!

Yes it is kind of surgeons choice, my doctor said many use it is their kind of signature so mine is on the right midway between my belt line and bra line, which is great, nothing hits it.

Mine is exactly 4 inches directly above my belly button. I don’t have a bra line, so I guess that part is irrelevant.

I find that when I am walking I inadvertently poke it with my finger just to feel it. Sort of they way a pregnant lady rubs her belly, does anybody else do that:unsure:?

I do it too, and it looks like I'm pushing my boobs up for glamour. Mine unfortunatly is below the bra line, and it Hurts like a MOFO when my underwire rubs against it.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
