Thicker saline?

Has anyone heard of a thicker saline to plug a very slow leak. I get a fill and 4 weeks later it's gone.

I had no trouble for 7 years. Went for a small fill with a new PA, and he banged around trying to

find the port. I'm sure this is what happened. I don't want more surgery.

Have any of you tried thicker saline first?

Never heard of a thicker saline for a leak. If it is a leak you may have to have a surgery to replace the tubing. What has your surgeon said regarding this? Have you been able to speak with him yet?

Heading over there in an hour.

How did you make out at the surgeons?

I've never heard of a thicker saline either. Good luck hope they can do something for it without having to do surgery.

I do remember there being a thicker fluid than saline that was used for a bit, but I can't remember the name for the life of me. I don't know if it's used to plug leaks, however. I think it probably just seeps out more slowly than saline would? I'll have to dig around and see if I can remember the name of the stuff.

There is another fluid that is thicker - I believe it is called ultravist - I used this for years with my band - however I do not think most dr's use it anymore.
