Hi there, I am considering fat transfer to my breasts. My Dr said that he could only transfer 150cc fat at a time due to lack of blood supply to my breasts. Question is, if i lose weight (am 150lb 5'4) and my fat cells become skinny, then there would be more fat cells in the 150cc of fat??? is the assumption correct? if so, when i gain weight i am likely to have an increase in breast size? Does this make sense?
