How much do implants weigh? I’m getting 375cc cohesive gel implants.

100 cc of silicone weighs .23 lbs. Thus a 375 cc implant will be less than 1 lbs (.86 lbs). There will be some variation from one manufacturer to the next (shell and gel variations), however, this is a reasonable estimate.As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).

1cc will weigh approximately 1g. 375cc will weigh 375g. At 0.0022 pounds per g.  Giving 0.825 pounds per implant. Try that weigh in rice and place in a pair of tights and place it in your bra and see how that feels of you to give you an idea of the weight.

Hello. Thank you for your inquiry. They get converted roughly into the same number in grams.

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.

Congratulations on your upcoming breast augmentation.  Generally speaking 2 375cc breast implants will weigh about a pound.

Breast implants weigh about the same as breast tissue. To convert, 1000cc weighs about 2.2 pounds so 375cc weighs about 0.825 pounds. two of those would be about 1.65 pounds.
