Is it very common for bodies to reject the inplant. And how does it reject it? What happens? What are the signs? How long after surgery can the rejection start?

Answer: Body rejection of implants. The body does not actually reject the implant but there are two reaction that can be seen after the placement of implants. The major issues (that might be seen as rejection) are either infection or capsular contracture. I assume you are talking about capsular contracture. This usually presents with implant rising up in position as the capsule tightens about the implant. The rate of contracture appears to be related to the type of implant, position (under or over the muscle) and the incision made to put the implant in place (around the areola/nipple somewhat higher for risk of capsular contracture. The treatment is excision of the capsule and placement of a new implant. Despite this the contracture can occur again.
