Should I do the MTHFR gene test before getting breast implants?

Safarian
I'm 24 years old and have been wanting to get breast implants for years now. No matter how much I want to get implants, I feel very scared because there is a chance that my body will reject and/or react negatively to them. I've been hearing so many stories of breast implant illness, and they scare me but I really want implants. Is there a way I can find out whether or not my body will react negatively to them? Is the MTHFR gene test a good way to know? Also, which implant is the safest?
