My implants are saline, and have been in place for almost 27 years. I don't recall there being any speculation about how long they would last, but because they are saline filled, there shouldn't be any long term bad effect when they eventually leak. I have a friend whose implant leaked shortly after implantation (same implant and same Doc), so I think there must be some "luck" involved. I am supposing that I will need a "revamp" eventually.
