Could I have less chance of experiencing BII since my body has already done well with silicone?

Asked By:Dakota08 in Newport Beach, California

I’ve wanted breast implants for forever . Im finally done having babies and was ready to pull the trigger but now I’m seeing all this talk about BII and it’s scaring me. My question is: I had a silicone facial implant for 4 years (paranasal) and it never gave me any problems . I took it out only because I felt you could see the outline of the implant when I smiled. Does this mean I might have a less chance of experiencing BII since my body has already done well with silicone ?
