Hi Jax - I didn't have implants pre-bc but did have an expander put it in as part of my reconstruction during my mastectomy. I did have rads after my expander was fully expanded and then had it exchanged for the final implant a couple of months after completing radiation. So far I haven't had any complications. As for skin not healing well after radiation, that's probably true initially but I'm not sure how healing is effected once you're further out after completing radiation. In any case though, lots of women have successful reconstruction after radiation so if you did have to have your implants removed I would think it would be possible for it to be done successfully.
