<<In my experience working with moms with implants, there can be difficulty
latching when full. The fullness + implants can make the baby almost
bounce off the areola. Sometimes the silicone wont "give" enough for the
mouth to compress the areola.>>

I don't understand how this could be.  The implant is either behind the chest
muscle or, at the very least, on top of the muscle but behind the gland.  It
should not be near the areola in either case.  Increased pressure from the
implant I can see, but bouncing off the implant?
