This study evaluates complications and reconstructive failure rates in implant-based reconstruction with radiotherapy. ⋯ Most patients had successful implant-based reconstructions after mastectomy and radiotherapy. Our study showed radiotherapy after direct-to-implant breast reconstruction had a lower rate of complications and reconstructive failure compared to tissue expander-implant reconstruction.
