1. Patients with eczema, asthma, or other atopic conditions had higher postoperative risks across both implant-based breast reconstruction and bone graft procedures.
2. Atopic skin disease was associated with increased implant infections, rupture, capsular contracture, and revision surgery up to three years after breast reconstruction.
3. In bone graft recipients, atopic disease increased risks of infection, osteomyelitis, mechanical loosening, and hardware removal at 90 days and 2 years.
4. Immune dysregulation in atopic disease may impair wound healing and raise susceptibility to postoperative complications.
5. Surgical teams should consider atopic status in preoperative risk assessment, counseling, and postoperative monitoring.
