I keep reading about Cc and how many cc are being injected ... 800, 1000 ... And that makes me wonder whats the safe and also legal amount in Florida? Also, what the average as fat as the percentage of fat that survives on a BBL? I went to a consultation and the doctor said his results are that 70-85% of the fat he injects stays ... Is that good or avarage? Sounds like so little. Help please.
