A member asked:
Could breast implants weight less than breast tissue?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Perhaps, not usually: The density of silicone implants is very close to breast tissue as it approximates the density of water. However this is not typically the case as most breast mass is a combination of tissue/gland (more dense than silicone) and fat which is less dense than silicone.
