Mine swelled up right after insertion. The surgeon said it was due fluid build up that would be re-absorbed by the body.

I'm petite in size, so my port always stuck out on my chest, right up until I had it taken out.

This time around, when I had a port inserted to treat liver mets, they put a port in my right arm, on the inside portion facing my body. I love it! It still shows a lump, but nobody notices it.
