Hi Steph, I had reconstruction with saline implants and while they turned out okay, I often wish I'd gone with silicone for a more natural result. I was worried at the time about the risks of silicone (rupturing, causing problems) but silicone doesn't seem to have as bad of a reputation anymore... My saline implants are "fine" but not "wow"--good luck making your decision, I know it can be a difficult one.
