FAQ

Question: What physical changes will there be after surgery? Rev.03/03

Answer: All components, with the exception of the hand held magnet, are inside the body. The stimulator may bulge slightly under the skin, but it isn?t noticeable under clothes. If you have a tendency of developing keloids (heavy scarring tissue), these may become apparent on your chest in time. There also may be a slight bump on the top of the head, but it usually isn't visible under the hair --and yes, your hair will grow back.
