would it be possible to have breast implants filled With 100% carbon dioxide? ive heard it doesnt create rippling and such. and it would be sooo much lighter! why arent carbon dioxide or air more available for breast implants? if its not possible With 100% co2, could it be possible to have half saline and half co2? it would be great for xxxxxxl implants. thanks

Answer: Are there any surgeons that have experience with inserting breast implants with air or gas/carbon dioxide? Breast implant shells are "semi-permeable" meaning that air and water molecules can cross. This is why saline implants sitting on the shelf at the surgeon's office will tend to have the liquid evaporate over time and be replaced with air. Filling implants with air inside a human would certainly give a light breast implant, however the air or CO2 would slowly be absorbed causing a slow deflation over time. Hope that helps!

Answer: Breast Implants and Carbon Dioxide The silicone elastomer shell of breast implants is permeable and not completely impenetrable. This is why even silicone gel historically has a 'low bleed' through it. Gas molecules would be the easiest to pass through the shell and be absorbed. Inflating breast implants with air or carbon dioxide would only provide a very short term result and deflation would be inevitable.
