Real breast tissue from another person would be like an organ transplant. The body would see it as an invading ‘infection’ and would try to fight it. The patient would need to take anti-rejection drugs (immunosuppressants) for the rest of his or her life. These drugs have many bad side effects, for instance they usually cause the patient to gain a lot of weight, so you wouldn’t use them for ‘cosmetic’ surgery. Also the drugs are very expensive, like $500-800/month for the rest of the patient’s life. Also they compromise the immune system so the patient has to be careful about catching colds and virusses for the rest of her life.
So artificial implants are better.
