Plastic Surgery

Has anyone ever had any plastic surgery done – perhaps some kind of fat filler around the ICD – to minimize the appearance of the "lump" you see from the device? If so I'd be interested to hear your experience. I don't even know if this sort of thing is done but I thought I'd throw it out there.

This may sound stupid from someone who has been on this site for seven months now but...Is an ICD much larger than a pacemaker?

The pacer systems are really very reliable. The main problem is the incompetent programming of them. If yours is working well for you, get on with life and enjoy it. You probably are more at risk of problems with a valve job than the pacer.
