Oddball question
I was Realized about a month ago, since then the incision has closed up nicely and doesnt really give me a problem. However, I was just on the Realize website and was showing a friend the animation of the surgery and I noticed something odd. The video shows 4 or 5 little incisions plus the port site. I only have 1 incision, kind of below my left nipple, about 2-3 inches long. Is there another method for the procedure?
I've read about improvements to the actual procedure where they are now able to perform the surgery with only one incision.
I don't know what the criteria is for this - but with my approval in the near future - I hope I'm eligible for this technique!

I have 4 incisions plus the port incision and mine is under my right breast too - maybe its a surgeon option to put it where they deem fit or something? I think we are probably the exception though rather than the rule because everything I'm reading is about 90% on the left side!!
Its nice to have someone else on the right!!
