Long-term implant survival in delayed breast reconstruction
About half of the implants in delayed breast reconstructions in this study survived for up to two decades without any additional surgery. Serial implant revisions seem more common than single implant revisions; if the first implant needed revision, there was a tendency for the second implant to also require revision.
