Pacemaker "pouch"

[gabrielle]

One of the students in the class had a pacemaker removed. We are both curious about what technique(s) to use to lessen the pouch created by the device.

I am thinking that it has been there so long plasticity is set in and not much can be done to return the tissues to normal.

Has anyone had any experience with this issue?

I didn't even know they would ever remove a pacemaker!! Very interesting. I have lots of clients who have them - it will be interesting to see what others say, here.

While it wasn't a pacemaker, one of my clients who underwent extensive chemotherapy for breast cancer had 2 ports installed just under her R clavicle. When she was finally able to have them removed, there was a bit of "extra" tissue for a time, then the body seemed to reabsorb most of it, and, what didn't reabsorb turned to a lovely pink scar..... fwiw
