Are nipple piercing rejections a sign that my body will reject breast implants?

Asked By:nguyensy in Carlow, IE

I am interested in Breast Augmentation but am scared I will get an infection from my body rejecting the implants since my body had rejected 1 nipple piercing before. For background, I had both nipples pierced. My left nipple rejected the piercing but the right one was perfectly fine. The piercings were done at a highly reputable, experienced piercer and are surgical grade titanium. I cleaned them with saline wash regularly. Is this an indicator that my body will reject a left implant too?
