In pounds how much would 2 - 295 implants weigh?

Question

Out of curiosity for a daily weigher about to have surgery tomorrow - thanks :-)

John Mesa, MD · Answer

cc of volume is approximately equal to grams of weight. therefore:= 295 cc = 295g so, 295g  x2 =590g = 1.3 lb (pounds)

Thank you for
your question!

If the implant
you consider is a saline implant, then using the density of the 0.9% saline
used to fill the implant and using the weight of the implant shell of 12 grams,
we can do a simple calculation.

(295 cc x 1.005 grams/cc) + 12 grams = 308.475
grams

When we
multiply this by 2, we get 616.95 grams.

In pounds, this converts into 1.36 lbs.

Similar calculation
for silicone implants using the density of 0.98 grams/cc follows:
(295 cc x 0.98 grams/cc) x 2 = 578.2 gramsNote that we did not include implant shell as this is approximated with silicone density.

When this is converted into pounds, the weight
converts to 1.27 lbs

So a
silicone implant weighs a bit less, but the difference is negligible.

So you will
just have an extra pound.

Best of
luck!
