Hi, I have had my port for about 5 years now, and just under the surface so mine sticks out, I also put it down to the remaining breast being larger now so the skin is pulled making it protrude. Although it is convenient I have trouble covering it with a lot of my clothes so it is seen most of the time in summer. When I was to have reconstruction of the other breast the reconstruction surgeon whinged about where it was, he said they should be in the arm out of the way and he didn't know why they kept putting them in the chest, I don't know of anyone with it in the arm so I can't comment as to it rubbing, would be concerned if you have had lymph glands removed as to where it was put. Also I was told that it was a simple procedure, that it was but it made me feel unwell for about a week, have no idea why, may just have been me but I have never had a problem with it since day one.
Love & Hugs Lyn
