I have had two chest ports ,,, completely under the skin.. and you just care for it like your skin... my first one from day one was uncomfortable and I ran a low grade temp then it started looking red around it.. and Doc said it had to come out it was infected,, they said it was no fault of mine, sometimes that just happens.. the second one (Bard) put on the other side of my chest ,,I have had no trouble with... don't know its there... I wish to they could use it for more uses, like blood tests... and for the IV's when they do Muga and CT's but I guess those people aren't trained to use them ...
