I'm 5'7, 116 pounds and currently have a 34 A/B cup. I read online that one way to find out how big I should go was the birdseed-in-a-nylon route. After doing cup to cc conversion it came out to around 400cc's. The problem is, wearing the birdseed around got my neck and shoulder's quite sore. I'm worried that it will be the same with implants. Has anyone else complained of back/neck pain after implants?
Answer: Neck and back pain uncommon Now that you have tried on sizers and chosen a volume that you like, you can calculate the weight of the implants. The density of water is 1 gm/cc, so a saline implant that is 400 cc will weigh approximately 400 gm. Two 400 cc implants will weigh 800 gm. The conversion from gm to lbs is 2.2 lbs/kg. So the implants will weigh approximately 0.8 kg x 2.2 lbs/kg = 1.76 lbs. However, the implants are typically under the muscle and held close to your center of gravity. They will not weigh on your neck like the birdseed does in the sizers. People typically do not complain of back or neck pain after breast augmentation.

Answer: How Much Do 400 Cc Breast Implants Weigh? It's a great question. Implants are measured in cubic centimeters (cc's). If you know the implant volume that you desire, then multiply it by two to account for both implants. Take the total volume and divide by 1000 and then multiply by 2.2 ((Total Volume)/1000 * 2.2) = Implant weight in pounds (lbs). Overall most women will get used to the weight of reasonably sized implants without a problem, but it's definitely important to consider the extra weight.

Answer: It's about 1 gram per cc A 454cc implant weighs about a pound. (454 gms equals 1 pound).Certainly, overly large implants can lead to upper back/neck discomfort, but not typically in the 400cc range. When implants are much larger (500-600cc+) it is more common.

Answer: 400cc Silicone Breast Augmentation Watch this video of a 400cc Silicone Breast Augmentation. I explain the surgery and let you see the actual implants used for the surgery. The video will help explain the augmentation possible with a 400cc smooth round silicone breast implant. I hope this helps!

Answer: #BreastimplantWeights As an approximation 1 cc equals one gram, so 400 cc's equals 400 grams. In pounds this would be about 0.88 pounds per implant

Answer: 400cc Saline Breast Implants Weighs 400grams It’s not unusual for prospective breast augmentation patients to worry about the weight of their new breast implants. They worry that breast enlargement may create some of the symptoms that are frequently associated with breast hypertrophy such as back and neck pain.In this case a 400cc saline breast implant weighs 400 grams. There’s 454 grams in a pound so these implants weigh about .88 pounds. When silicone implants are used they weigh approximately 15% more than saline implants.Implants in this size range are easily tolerated by most patients and aren’t associated with back or neck pain. This is especially true when implants are placed beneath the muscle. Under these circumstances, the muscle produces added support for the implant.If you’re concerned about the weight of your breast implants, consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon is appropriate. This surgeon should be able to discuss this issue and alleviate your concerns.
