Radiation effect on implant ??
I have my planning session for radiation next week & I have yet to come across anyone who has had radiation with a silicone implant. ( I had immediate recon with implant ) The rad onc isn't placing...
Cant help u much as I didnt have radiation but I was under the impression that the 2 dont mix well. My plastic surgeon (i have silicone implant) asked me a million times if I was having radiation and I'd reply no not the plan at this stage (as u never know what can happen) & finally 1 day I asked him why do u keep asking me about radiation, would that effect my recon? he said if my plans changed I should see him straight away and we will figure out the next step. But thats all that was ever said on the matter and my plans still havent changed... i will b interested to read what everyone else writes here!
