When you implant anything in a human body, there is an immune reaction to that, so it's not specific to only breast implants. We see this more often in breast implants than in other implants, but it's still not specific. It is also the same inflammation that actually causes the contractures and the same inflammation finally causes ALCL. ALCL is, in fact, a mistake of the immune system by attacking. Dividing cells then go wrong and it's a lymphoma. It is a similar mechanism that is occurring in these patients.
