Thank you for your question. This we get asked daily from our breast augmentation patients. A 450cc silicone gel implant weighs 460gm. 454gm=1lb, so it is very close to 1lb.

Easy to calculate. It is similar therefor to the specific gravity of normal average breast tissue. My Best, Dr C
Your implants are very high, but this should correct itselft in time, its much too early to be concerned as your results wont finalize for another 4-5 months. In your photos you look dramatically different and the size is probably a great choice for you. Give it time, you'll be surprised how...

A lot depends on the width of your chest. That said, a 600 cc implant is a large implant - you will carry around close to 3 extra pounds on your chest. These larger implants cause more long term problems - just a excessively large natural breasts will do. If a round moderate profile will fit...
