Do Silicone and Saline Implants Weigh the Same?

July 5, 2009
Asked By:Jane in Jersey in new jersey

I have Becker Breast implants that are not longer available in the US.  They are two-layer implants. The inside layer is saline - outer layer is silicone. Two layers of liquid in a smooth silicone shell. The implants are 1000 cc's. What do the implants themselves weigh? I am hoping to get a reduction. Do Saline and Silicone implants weigh the same, pretty much? Thanks.
