Breast implants are very safe, they are the most studied devices in use. You have to be comfortable with whatever decision you make. You seem to have had a Latismus Dorsi flap, the scars need revision and using implants is safe, and is commonly used

Today's breast implants are very safe, but you need to be comfortable with them. Schedule a consultation with an experienced, board certified plastic surgeon. Your surgeon will discuss the benefits and risks and allow you the opportunity to make an informed decision about what is best for you. Best wishes!

Placing breast implants in the right patient can be very safe for a reconstructive option. You should talk to your surgeon about this and then proceed from there.
