Hi Kris. I had my reconstruction twenty five years ago, and used a saline filled implant. I really kind of expected to have to have it replaced by now, but so far, it's been fine. I chose saline because of the possibility of leakage----and did have an acquaintance have her implant rupture. Hers was also saline and made no particular problem. She had it swapped in a one day surgery. Wishing you the very best as you make your choice.
