Saline implants are heavier than fresh water, neutral in saltwater when you include the silicone sack in the measurement (the saline solution is about 22ppt, vs 32ppt for saltwater).

Now, if the woman were bathing in the upper Chesapeake Bay, where the salinity is around 22 ppt, they would be neutral to a bit heavy.    And in the red sea, with its 44 ppt, they would float.

Silicone implants are denser than the saline, being very similar to fatty tissues, and therefore will have about the same buoyancy characteristics.

So, no.  None of the implants will float anywhere outside the red sea.

Facts only an engineer would care about.   This is the "are you a nerd thread", right?

You're my hero...

Then there is the Dead Sea and Great Salt Lake,

"The salinity of Great Salt Lake is highly variable and depends on the lake's level; it ranges from 5 to 27%, or (or 50-270 ppt).[4] For comparison, the average salinity of the world ocean is 3.5% (35 ppt)[23] and 30.4% in the Dead Sea."

Or 'tits ahoy" only a few places in the world.

(another nerd signing off)

If the Dead Sea had a 30.4% average salinity, it would be a slurry.

35 ppt for the oceans as a whole is correct, but the surface waters of the Atlantic and Pacific in coastal waters are closer to 32 ppt.   Not many women swim at 1200 feet.

Mine do I guess... They always look best in the bath tub when I am soaking... lol


When I am on my back(out of water) they slide outward- when I am in the bath they dont... so they have to have some sort of bouyancy...My butt on the other hand- not so floaty! lol

Actually, it is the weight of gravity pulling them to either side.   Skin tension keeps them, ahem, erect in the water.   They are still denser than fresh water.

i dont think they do. they dont move, they certainly wont float

they do move!
