Background. Two-stage tissue expander/implant-based method has been used predominantly for breast reconstruction. Implant rupture is one of the bothersome complications, inducing additional morbidity including reoperation. The present study aimed to identify the independent factors associated with development of implant rupture. Patients and Methods. Patients who underwent immediate two-stage prosthetic breast reconstruction between 2010 and 2016 were reviewed. Inserted implants were
