Hello jer22
Good to hear from you. I hope your recovery has been going well and that you are feeling better.
I have had my device for over 2.5 years now. Being a woman, with a bit more "upholstery" in the upper regions, my implant is noticeable to both touch and vision. But just.
Mine is a sub-pectoral implant.
The EP "made" a pocket on the muscle and embedded it. He attached it with a stitch to the muscle so it wouldn't move. Touch wise, there is a slight rise under the skin where it is located. Visually , I have to turn slightly to see that slight rise in the mirror. I can't see (or feel) any sharp edges corners, or anything like that. (Unlike a friend of ours who is very thin. The sharp outline of his unit is very visible.)
In fact, mine is so hard to detect that when I put my seat belt on and add the pacemaker guard to the seat belt, I have to manually check just where the unit is exactly so as to position the guard correctly.
I suspect the scar and slight bump are mine forever. Such is life.
Best wishes on your continuing heart health journey.
