I had my implants put in October 2016. I waited 2 years after treatment ended- chemo radiation. A month after I had them in I got an infection. They kept the implant in and I had IV antibiotics for 1 week in hospital. Had another infection in the same implant March this year. Same treatment. The only reason they didn't remove it was because they sensed that my mental state wouldn't handle it ( they were correct) If it happens again though they will remove it. I am mentally prepared for that to happen now. I am just unlucky and it's rare to get an infection. Don't let my story put you off. I don't regret getting them.
