Right side. Above waistline and always uncomfortable. Very tight in the mornings

How can your port be tight?

Slightly to the left of centre approx halfway between my BB and my bust.

Mine is in the center and my bra bothered it for a few weeks

mine's a little to the right, just about an inch below my natural waistline. looks like i'll be wearing my pants on my hips in the future!

Eek ! Just thinking about those of you that have the port near your breast line gave me the heeby jeebies thinking about what it must be like to get a fill ! Especially Saffy ! That must be a very strange experience.

Mine is on my right. Just slightly to the side and above my belly button. I never feel it unless I go in for a fill and he starts pushing on it. Guess I have quite a bit of padding to get rid of before it starts bothering me !

Mine is on my left, freaks my wife out if she accidently touches it. The cats tried digging it out occasionally thinking its a treat in my shirt.

Right below ribcage but above waist band, kind of half way between breast and belly button. My doctor said that each doctor put them in a different place, that it was kind of like their own personal signature so they can be anywhere.

Wow, that is low, mine is right under my rib cage

Mine is on the left side few ways away from my belly button

mine's right in the middle, a few inches above my waistline.

Like many others here...mine is slightly right of centre, above bb and below bra line.

Mine's in the middle...couple of inches below my bra line. Never really bothers me.

Hi Donna, what I mean by tight is that in the mornings especially, I pushes outward causing a lot of pressure. Even during the day, I feel it. Saw dr today for my first fill and I mentioned it to him, he said it should eventually go away.
