Is it dangerous to get breast implants when you're skinny?

Ardi11
Im 24,100lbs & 5'6. My immune system isnt the best. I hav absolutely no chest. I dont even fit into an A cup bra. Id like to get around a full B cup size. after reading some surgery scares online from Bravo TVs Lilly Ghalichi, Im beginning to get afraid of breast implants. I know everyones situation is different but is it more dangerous for an extremely skinny person to get them than someone of average weight? & does the skin damage from stretching to a larger breast size?
