Does more transferred fat survive in a second round of fat grafting to breasts?

ElizabethJ
I had implants to correct tuberous breasts, developed severe cc removed then about 5 years ago. I was left with limited breast tissue and internal scar tissue and adhesions. 7 months ago, I had 300cc of fat transferred to each breast. I had ok survival (probably 50-60%) considering my surgical history and am getting another round next week to smooth out the remaining contour irregularities and adhesions. Does more fat survive the second time since the blood supply has been established?
