Do saline/silicone implants cause fungus or mold inside the body?

Tigolbittiessoon
I've been seeing a lot lf controversy about this and I had never thought about the fact that that was a possibility. I've seen some reviews from women who are getting their implants removed due to the mold and infections they are getting . Is this common ?
