Implant concern

Had an implant installed in my hand by a nurse. It’s had Weeks to heal and won’t read. I believe it was installed too deep under the skin. Should I get it removed? Is there a way for me to salvage this?

It can be near impossible to get a good scan if you don’t know exactly where it’s at. First things first, let’s locate that sucker.

You need a small rare earth magnet. Not one of those cheap ceramic ones. When you put it on top of the implant it will just barely stick enough to let you turn your hand over without it falling off. You may need to hunt around a bit.

What chip?

If it’s nfc your phone is a variable too, so make sure you take any cases off etc

Also try other phones

Can you also mark on the image (or your hand) where your bones are?
