Breast appear to be getting closer together. What is causing this? (Photo)

April 23, 2014
Asked By:JJNewBoobs in Sacramento, NM

I'm 3 weeks postop from my under muscle BA and have been instructed to wear any non underwire bra 24/7. My PS says my cleavage looks good, but IMO it is closer than it was 1 week post op (and too close!) Could this be due to bra pushing them together? I have measured a decrease of 1.5 cm between my breasts. Is it the side compression of sports bras causing this?

What is the weight (in pounds) for one single Silicone Gel breast implant measuring 450 cc's?
George Commons, MD (retired) says:

An easy way to think of weight of silicone breast implants is that 1 cc = 1 gram and 454 grams = a pound.   A 225 cc implant is then 1/2 lb. So an implant that is 450 cc weighs about one pound.   Easy to calculate.   It is similar therefor to the specific gravity of...
