Current evidence for the effects of radiotherapy (RT) on implant-based immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) is limited by short follow-up. The aim was to determine surgical outcomes and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in relation to RT up to 13 years after implant-based IBR. After 754 implant-based breast reconstructions in 729 women in Stockholm, Sweden, implant removal was more common in irradiated than non-irradiated patients (P < 0.001). The response rate to the BREAST-Q questionnaire was 72.2 per cent. Women with previous RT scored lower than those without RT on all scales apart from psychosocial well-being. Women who had postoperative RT scored lower only on physical well-being. Although RT was significantly associated with higher implant removal rates, PROs remained stable despite irradiation.
