I am looking for opinions on the best convex baseplate for a flush stoma (it also really retracts way below skin level when active)? Or techniques to help the seal? My first surgery was in 2020 and second in 2021 and I've never been able to get a good seal. Output always ends up under the barrier ring on my skin, regardless of ring brand. It leads to leaks past the ring reasonably often. I am quite thin but I don't know if that's a factor. I have predominantly used Coloplast SenSura Mio and have tried other brands, currently trying Hollister New Image. Any tips or suggestions for dealing with a flush stoma? I'm at a loss and about to make an appointment with my surgeon to talk about a third surgery in 4 years.
