How Much Does 900cc Saline Breast Implants Weigh?

Question

How much does a 600cc shell overfilled to 900cc weighs?

Urmen Desai, MD, MPH, FACS · Answer

The weight is only a few pounds.   I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with.   Finally, make sure your surgeon is a Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS), a member of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), and a fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS).Best,Dr. DesaiBeverly Hills Institute for Aesthetic Plastic SurgeryHarvard Educated, Beverly Hills & Miami Beach TrainedDouble Board-Certified, Double Fellowship-Trained Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon

Thanks for your question,Each implant will be around 1.90lbs for each side, both implants around 4 pounds. Good luck :)

Thank you for your question. 900 cc of saline weighs almost 2 pounds, so with the shell, you are probably at 2 pounds per breast. You should consider that an oversized implant like this is going to cause some problems for you, even if you think the weight is not bad. Women often present for breast reductions where less than 900 grams of tissue is removed for symptom relief. In addition, overfilling a 600 cc implant to 900 cc is not advised or condoned by the manufacturer and will place you at undue risk for complication and will void the implant warranty. See a local board certified plastic surgeon to discuss other options to reach your goals.Good luck and be safe!

900 cc's of saline is about 2 lbs.  Saline implants have minimum and maximum recommended fill volumes.  I don't know of any saline implants that have a range of 600-900 cc.

Adolfo Sesto, MD · Answer

They will weight about 2 pounds each. This size of implants are not recommended any more due to the problems they present compelling the patient sooner or later to remove them for a less volume ones.
Also I do not recommend saline implants to any one of my patients, there are much better implants in the market like the silicon cohesive gel texturized covered implants.
