How much do my Sientra silicone gel 505 cc implants weight?

Question

I've gained 5lbs since surgery 1 month ago, and I'd like to blame it all on the implant. :)

Ira H. Rex III, MD · Answer

You can always expect quite a bit of weight gain after anesthesia. This often lasts about three weeks after surgery but can certainly remain beyond this. You can expect your weight to normalize over time. The weight of the implants themselves is a bit more than 2 pounds.

Clark Schierle, MD, PhD, FACS · Answer

About two pounds for the implants. The rest may be water weight from residual swelling. Hang in there!

Larry S. Nichter, MD, MS, FACS · Answer

You can attribute just over two of your five pound weight gain to your 505 cc implants. Each implant weighs a fraction over 1 pound.

Andrew P. Trussler, MD · Answer

Sientra silicone gel breast implants weigh 1 gram per 1 cc which would be 1010 grams or 1 kilogram or 2.3 lbs. Weight gain after surgery is initially from water retention, but over the first month likely related to decreased activity from the recovery process. In general, this is improved as your self-confidence is bolstered and you feel better.

Robert E. Zaworski, MD (retired) · Answer

A 450 cc implant weighs one pound.  So you have a combined weight of a little over 2 pounds added to your body.  You are still healing and maybe you are retaining some water weight, also.  Best wishes!
