How Much Do 400cc High Profile Silicone Implants Weigh?

Every 1000 cc of water equala 2.2 pounds. Doing the math this means that 400 cc equals slighlty less than 14 ounces (silicone weighs less than water) or .875 pounds. Multiply that by two and it equals 1 and 3/4 pounds or 28 ounces,

You'll just gain about a pound, so it's not a significant amount of weight. However, you'll certainly see the difference!

Breast implants generally do not contribute
significantly to weight increases. For
example, a 400cc silicone breast implant weighs 424gm or 15 ounces (roughly two
pounds for a pair). Usually if you are seeing any increase in your body weight, it should be temporary and related to water retention.Hope this helps.

Best of luck.

The weight of 400 cc implants are converteg in to kilograms whichis the same 400 gms or 0.4 kgs which then amounts to about 1lb or so.

Hello. Thank you for your inquiry. They will add roughly 1 lb to your weight. It is important to have an in-person assessment regarding your concerns as it is difficult to determine virtually.

Exact end results and cup sizes are usually quite difficult to calculate as everyone has a different starting point.

There are many different factors that go into choosing a breast implant size which will correspond with your body dimensions while concurrently achieving your aesthetic results. Some of these factors are: Implant size (CC's), Implant profile (Low, Moderate, High), Placement of the implant (Subglandular vs. Dual Plane) etc. We utilize smooth round cohesive silicone gel 'gummy bear' implants for the best results.

During a consultation your aesthetic goals are heard and taken into account with the measurements of your breasts and the integrity of your tissue, as well as level of ptosis (sag). From here we collectively can find your 'perfect fit'. You are able to try out sizers and different implants in our office such that you can get an idea of what size you would be post-operation. We also offer Crisalix 3D plastic surgery virtual simulator during our in-person and virtual consultations to preview potential results. After your consultation, you will receive your very own implant sizers to take home with you (at a small cost) whether or not you decide to go forward with your procedure.

I usually recommend that my patients stop smoking, take vitamin C daily, and avoid aspirin/ibuprofen and vitamin E 3 weeks prior to surgery. I specialize in the 24-hour Recovery method which minimizes trauma to the breast and decreases pain post-operatively.
