No influence.: Getting breast implants does not increase your chances of getting breast cancer as has been shown by multiple large clinical trials. One of the factors though in developing breast cancer is breast size i.e. Larger natural breast size will have higher risk of breast cancer that is why in men the incidence of breast cancer is lower as they have lower initial breast tissue volume.

No: Breast implants are not related to breast cancer risk. They have not been shown to increase the rate of breast cancer.
