A member asked:

Small bump 1/2 inch from healed incision of a reveal heart monitor. any reason to be concerned? implanted 3 wks ago. is it the monitor?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Incision: Likely it is the device itself. An incision is made and then the device placed under the skin. Also it is usually sutured in place, but most likely it is the device.
