X-Series Leg Installation Question

Implant Sutra - An index of implant positions that have been discussed and/or tried

In short This post as all about location, location, location! While planning my current batch of implants it became apparent there is LOTS of great information on this forum about implant locations but the number of threads and opinions is a tad overwhelming. This is especially for newbies and results in multiple “Implant location plan” thread’s. With this in mind I have tried to recall all the implant locations I have seen discussed or showcased on this forum to list them and any …

Hi chat! Although there is this post about various locations, it lacks information about the legs.

I had talked to my specialist who installs them for me and informed me that if there’s more of something that the implant will sink into the body and become more difficult to read. I’ll be honest, I didn’t memorize what the layer was that he said, maybe dermis or something? Apologies.

What I’m getting at is, what is your experience with installing the X-Series transponders in the leg, specifically in the region above the kneecap on the side of the leg? I intend on installing my NExT blinkies on each of my legs on the same outer side, but wary of what he told me of the device sinking into the leg. Maybe a little higher up the thigh if that’s better.

Thank you!

The specialist was likely talking about the subdermal fascia layer (between the dermis and muscle tissue). The issue is the shifting fat layer which can allow the capsule to drift or sink deeper than intended. It’s always best to implant in a location with minimal heavy muscle flex or deep fat displacement.

Those terms definitely sound familiar. Deepest apologies for not knowing.

With this as a given, the legs are probably not the best then to avoid the sinking or displacement, does that sound appropriate?

[ReverentMachine]

No worries at all, no need to apologise.
Unfortunately yes, legs have a lot of muscle flex and dermal movement, I wouldn’t recommend it.

Foot and leg probably mean different things in this context, but foot implants have been done before:

It’s in:

Tenting up the skin was a real bitch. But my piercer had a technique I didn’t know, which is to roll up and massage the skin into loosening. That made things a bit easier, but not much. Pinching and pulling hard enough on it to create an entry point was way more painful than the implant job itself.

As far as legs go, there have been a few WiFi access point projects like the PegLeg and Bodybytes. However, a large flex or resin implant could also be a good option for that part of the body.

I’ve done an xg3 injection in my foot, and a mega disk and a large magnet on the front (anterior) face of my thigh. Several things I wanted to mention. You’re trying to get the implant in the fatty collagen layer called the hypodermis which is under the dermis, but not so deep that it’s in the suprafacial layers shrouding your muscles, tendons and arteries. The skin of the thigh has a lot of cohesion holding those layers together into one tight structure so it’s very difficult to control the depth and not go too deep. In addition, there’s strands of connective tissue going from the interior to the exterior directly above the knee to protect against the strain of moving the joint which are hard to excise so you’ll encounter significant resistance there. The legs are also under a lot more blood pressure than the rest of the body and heal much more slowly.

I’m not saying you can’t do an x-series install there, I just wanted you to be aware of the difficulties
