wires

I can see my pacemaker and wires

Do you mean the pacemaker wires are coming through your skin? 

or

The pacemaker wires are visible under the skin?

I have very pale, translucent, thin skin (my chest looks like someone drew a roadmap in blue ink on it) and the outline of the underlying pacemaker is so apparent you could easily make a tracing. In certain lights the wires can also be discerned. The older I get the more visible the pacemaker is. 

I don't worry about it. Though thin, my skin is not especially fragile. I've had the pacemaker six years. So far, there has been no cause for concern.

If the wires were coming through and breaking the skin, in my opinion that would be an emergency requiring immediate medical attention since the danger of infection would be grave.

You might want to draw the visibility of the wires to your doctor's attention at your next visit.

Visible suface wires are no problem..just a bit like surface veins / arteries.

'Break Out'..is no joke....I had a PM Box breakout a while back...get that sorted ASAP !!!
