Silicone and water weigh about the same. So 492 cc of gel is about 492 Gm of water. There are 17.4 oz in 492 Gm, so about a pound each.
Although a siliconegel-filled breast implant often feels heavier than its equal volume salinecounterpart, it is not. A silicone gel breast implant is actually just slightlylighter than an equal volume saline breast implant.The following calculation doesnot take into account the weight of the implant shell. And it assumes that thedensity of the silicone gel in the implants is approximately 0.97gr/cc.1 pound = 453.592gr (roundto 454gr)A Natrelle 15-492 breastimplant weighs:492cc x 0.97gr/cc = 477gr477gr / 454gr = 1.05 pounds1.05 pounds = 1 pound 0.8ouncesTwo Natrelle 15-492 breastimplants therefore weigh 2.1 pounds = 2pounds 1.6 ounces.Best wishes.
OK. So we are going to do a little simple math. 492 cc equals 492 gms. It is 2.2 lbs per kilogram and so you are looking at just over a pound per implant.
Great question. SIlicone weighs just slightly more than breast tissue of a similar volume. That is because part of the breast is fat which weighs less per cc than real breast tissue (or silicone) does. But right after surgery you will find your weight goes up by even more because of fluid retention. That will dissapear ofver a week or two.

And in fact, with settling, it can even worsen. Issues such as this should have been reviewed during your 'consent' process and you make choices based on what you know and have been informed of. Gel implants help considerably and the textured anatomic gel implants could possibly...
This most likely represents a capsular contracture. In breast augmentation I have chosen to spend time reviewing photographs with patients to fully understand their expectation of size and shape. Many times this simply raises more questions. I will make measurements and use the implant...
This is definitely one of the most common myths in plastic surgery. I'm not sure how it started, but hopefully it wasn't because of someone trying to make more money. The fact is that most implants will last longer than 10 years, and unless there is some particular issue with your...
I think there is way too much emphasis on cc’s and there should be more emphasis on the profile of the implant. For instance, these are both 300 cc implants, but you can see that the shape is very different. This is a moderate profile implant that looks flatter and will give you a more nat...
