I'm aware that very rarely patients can develop toxic shock in the days following a breast augment. Does the risk completely subside after that period? Is it possible months or even years down the line?

Answer: Do You Mean Toxic Shock Syndrome? You are incorrect, TSS has never occured with breast implants (staphylococcus aureus toxin induced illness), and any infection is very rare and never fatal.

Answer: Breast Implant Related Infection Breast Implant infections years out are very rare. Can it happen, yes, is it very likely, no. In some rare cases, a patient could have an infection in another part of their body which could lead to "seeding" the implant and then causing an infection of the implant.Hope that helps.
