HERE ............ this is why i said to know all side affects before making such a big decision........
Possible side effects:
*********
Surgical risks include infection, hematoma (blood or tissue fluid collecting around an implant), the risk that one or both of the implants will have to be removed (requiring additional surgery)
*******************
Breast Implants Rupture: All breast implants will eventually break, but it is not known how many years the breast implants that are currently on the market will last. Studies of silicone breast implants suggest that most implants last 7-12 years, but some break during the first few months or years, and some last more than 15 years.
***************
Local Complications: There are other well-documented 'local complications' that can result from breast implants. For example, some women lose sensitivity in their breasts, and others become overly sensitive; these problems can interfere with sexual intimacy. The cosmetic outcome is sometimes very disappointing, with breasts looking or feeling unnatural or asymmetrical, or the saline making a 'sloshing sound.'
*****************
All implants are 'foreign bodies' and the woman's body reacts by forming a capsule of scar tissue around the implants that can become too tight for the implant. This common problem is called capsular contracture. If that occurs, the breasts can become very hard, misshapen, and cause mild discomfort or severe pain. Some women who have breastfed compare the feeling to being overly full of milk and unable to nurse for many, many hours.

**********************
several European studies have indicated that breast surgery (whether for breast implants or to reduce the size of breasts) may be associated with an increased risk of neurological or autoimmune disease.1
***************
Breast Cancer: Breast implants interfere with the detection of breast cancer, because implants can obscure the mammography image of a tumor. Implants therefore have the potential to delay the diagnosis of breast cancer. Although mammography can be performed in ways that minimize the interference of the implants, approximately 30 percent of the breast tissue will still be obscured.18
**********
Breastfeeding: According to the Institute of Medicine (IOM), women with any kind of breast surgery, including breast implant surgery, are at least three times more likely to have an inadequate milk supply for breastfeeding.12 Concerns about the safety of breastfeeding have also been raised, but there is insufficient research information available.
************
Bacteria: Several researchers have shown that bacteria can grow in saline implants,23 and have expressed concerns about those bacteria being released into the body if the implant breaks. The effect of the bacteria on the woman, or a nursing baby, has not been studied.
