... ever heard of it? She has learned about it, the hard way.
The numbers are correct. I did the math :-)
Her implants filling would be about 20 grams lighter than air. So no real uplift, but also not sag :-)

For real implants you'd use other, a little bit heavier gasses, since helium will diffuse out of the implants with time.
And gas-filled implants do actually exist... sort of: AirXpanders builds implants with carbon dioxide gas capsule, which can be inflated by remote control! So far these implants are only for mastectomy patients though...
A few more pics with different states of inflation:
And one last one:
You'd need more than 3 grams of helium for those, maybe about 160 gram. And you'd already feel about1 kg pull upwards. Still not a very effective way to loose weight...

Love it! Great idea using a gas-filled implant setup, even if it's a helium instead of more real-world CO2 method. Pity Helium isn't more buoyant in real-life, or else we'd have a great method of making a real flying superheroine....
ReplyDeleteOddly enough, I'd thought of a somewhat similar method of continuous breast expansion for one of my own captions (that I've yet to finish), though my idea was more akin to the defunct Silly String implants, as opposed to a gas-filled implant like this, as my idea uses the body to make the implants swell with fluid over time. None of the fun bouncy helium-induced fun of your idea, of course.

There have been real cases of self-inflating saline expander implants. If the saline solution is hypertonic, the osmotic pressure makes it fill.
DeleteWater of course needs a way to pass into the implant. In those cases it was the filling valve. It suffices to have a small puncture (or deliberately placed membrane) that can let water molecules pass...
By chosing the salt content of the original filling, you could easily adjust the final implant size to be twice or three times the original size :-)
Exactly my idea, lol. Evil geniuses think alike....
