new pacemaker implant

HI all.  My brother just had a pacemaker put in yesterday, but he tells me he can actually see the silver generator under his clear dressing.  His sister in law says skin will eventually grow over it.  I have been a cardiac nurse for years and have never seen this.  I have a pacer myself.  Can someone tell me if they have had it done this way or ever heard of it.

What Robin said, either the description is wrong or he needs to be seen asap.
