Jax in Fl,

I had implants as part of my reconstruction. My plastic surgeon asked me several times if I was going to have radiation. My answer was always no, not now. This was a major concern in making the decision for implants vs another form of reconstruction. He did tell me that the radiation was not a good thing for implants. Mine are silicone filled
