There is absolutely no evidence that breast implants would cause weight gain or any other illness. Certainly look for other potential causes such as thyroid disease.

Saline implants
Steven S. Carp, M.D., F.A.C.S. answers: Do saline breast implants cause any weight gain or retention over time?
I had saline breast implants 18 years ago, which boosted my chest size to 36 C. At that time I was 117 lbs. Now I'm 140 and my chest size has gone up tp 38 DD. I am in good-shape--excercise, the works--but my chest doesn't seem to lose any weight. Is it possible that the implants have caused weight gain and maybe weight retention on my chest area?
