I’m having an explant and lipofilling same day. 220cc high projection. My surgeon said she could harvest total raw 300cc and only 60cc per breast. She wasn’t clear about retention. Said I could expect 50cc. Is it worth it? My measurements are 82-65-94cm, weight 49kg and 155cm tall. I believed I had more fat that than or at least for 100/150 each. Thank you! PD. LIPOonly legs, I don’t have any fat on my stomach
