Implant lifetimes
Just wondering what the current average and upper limits are on implants before rejection. If this has been done before then I'll just delete this. It would be useful if you posted what type of magnet/coating you had and where on your body you got it implanted. I just wanted to do this since I've been considering removing my magnet for the past year or so because it seems to have migrated, but it seems to be fairly stable.
I got a steve haworth magnet installed in my ring finger (around the pad) about 2 years ago.

- In optimal conditions ?
- If slighly damaged ?
Do you advise to remove a magnet after a maximum number of years / months ???
common issues with larger implants and their coatings are
not necessarily an issue. I'm not saying coatings are not needed. Just
that the low level degradation would not necessarily cause the issues
that major implant have."
glims you're saying coating is not important for neodynium ?
I thought corrosion could be an issue, as well as crumbling of the magnet and "magnetic powder" getting lost in the entire body oO
Also would this "magnetic powder" be a problem, considering that many metals are already present in our blood and tissues ??
A last question related to the original theme of this thread : for how long have you been implanted yourselves ?
Don't get glims wrong, coating is an issue, he just means to say that it's not nearly as much of an issue as implants in other areas and of other varieties.
