Your mother said you should? Do you understand how warped that is? This is your body and not your mother's.
Unless you are having reconstructive breast surgery following a mastectory or serious, serious other health problem, you have no need to augment your breasts or any other part of your body.
There is an illness called Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy. It usually afflicts women, and it's usually something is taken out on their children. WIth this illness, someone deliberately harms another person, in order to be the "hero" by saving that person. It's a variation of child abuse, and it can be fatal. I'm not saying that your mother has this problem. In fact, she probably doesn't, but by projecting her problems on you and your sisters (the way that you ended your question, you obviously have the same concerns for them as you do for yourself - good for you for being concerned), she is still doing you harm
Speak with your family doctor about your concerns, and in particular about your concerns for yourself and your sisters. Ask your doctor as well about implants, but make it clear why you're asking. You would be doing this to help your mother, your sisters and yourself.
Don't ever let anyone tell you that you need to or have to do this, this or that to your body except if you have an actual, medical need for it. You're already well on your way to having that strength of mind and spirit. It shows in your question.
I'm giving you a link to information about body image, as well as links about breasts and breast health. Body image is the basis of your mother's problem, and yes, she' projecting it on you. Read these, use them for yourself and your sisters, and do what you can to help your mother with it as well.

Sometimes after a pregnancy and nursing a woman's breats will enlarge significantly. And stay large. Then what? Also tnere is scarring over time within the breasts with implants, screening for breast cancer is more difficult at times. Infection with an implanted foreign body can be a nightmare.

Why would your mom say its ok to get breast implants at such a young age... you arent even fully developed yet. What if you get a c cup in, and then grow another cup, you will have D's... that might be WAY TOO BIG for your body and look awful on you. You should DEF wait till you are fully developed.

If you don't want them , then DON'T get them!! They are a serious matter, and it takes alot of consideration. Why would you "have to" get them when you turn 17?
Sounds like you need to do ALOT of research, and figure out how you feel about yourself.
www.implantinfo.com is a great website.
PS. I have implants, so I know how important it is to research and figure out your feelings.

This seems a very young age to have them done, as you are still growing and maturing. Just my opinion, but I would wait at least another 3 years or so since your body is still changing.

Why would you HAVE to have breast implants?????!!!!!!
Go on 'google', enter "normal breasts" and click on IMAGES and you'll see there are enough there that you'll find yours.
Wait till you're over the hill and your breasts are hanging, then perhaps get a nip and tuck, but not at YOUR age! Your body is FINE as it is...

look, I think that you shouldn't get the breast implants, because, you should be happy with what you have, god made you that way, and didn't intend for you to go out and fix it!, if he wanted them different, he would have meade them different, I think that you should stick to your gutts!
good luck!!

Wow...if YOU don't want to get them, your mom has no right to pressure you. There's nothing wrong with smaller breasts.
