Why aren't breast implants rejected by the body as something foreign?

I hope you can understand what I'm asking....why aren't breast implants rejected by the body as something foreign? When a person has surgery, for example, and gauze or a sponge gets left inside the patient, they get very sick. Why is that not the case with implants? I hope that makes sense, thank you!
