  • I'd say breast tissue is heavier than fat, but the question is what is the fat/tissue ratio for each boob.

    Implants will not float as they are more dense than water (silicone or saline), natural boobs should float because fatty tissue is less dense than water. Of course there are many variations here depending on breast density.

  • Er, breast tissue is a combination of glandular tissue and fatty tissue, the ratio depends on your age and breast maturity (aka have you had kids?).

    The glandular tissue is more dense than fatty tissue, but natural breasts would float because they're less dense than water and floppy.

    Most enhanced breasts are part natural breast, part implants... and the implants have roughly the same density as water so the implant breast would float too, albeit with less buoyancy than natural breasts.
