Converting Fat Volume to Weight: 300 cc Equals Approximately 1,050 Grams

Adipose tissue density is approximately 3.5 grams per milliliter (g/mL). Since 1 cc = 1 mL:

Calculation: 300 cc × 3.5 g/cc = 1,050 grams (or 1.05 kg / 2.31 lbs).

This conversion is used in:

• Surgical planning (liposuction, fat grafting)
• Nutritional calculations
• Research and body composition analysis

Note: Density varies slightly with tissue hydration and individual factors; 0.9–1.0 g/mL is sometimes cited for whole adipose tissue (including extracellular matrix). The 3.5 g/mL figure reflects purified fat.
