Does anyone know how long one must wait after getting an implant when you're in the clear and dont have to worry about infection anymore?

Technically infection couldnhappen at any point. But I'd say at 3-6 months the chances go down dramatically. Essentially once all the tissues are healed and surgical capsules well established, infection becomes less of a risk.

From my research, I'm not a surgeon!
