(Breast fat transfer) Would 600cc per breast be too much to inject? (photo)

I think it is quite unlikely that you would be successful getting that much fat transferred, especially in one surgery.Two major problems: one, finding enough fat; two; that if you try to over inject you will loose a far greater percentage of the fat and likely have areas of firm dead fat.  This is a finesse surgery.  Fat is placed in the breast in specific locations nearly drop by drop.  You will get far greater results by placing a reasonable amount twice than a lot at once.  

If you want to do this, you will have to find a surgeon who is very adept of retrieving fat.  Second, you have to be willing to undergo at least a couple of operations.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

This is a common procedure in our practice.  There is a relationship between the size of your breasts and the amount that can be injected at a single operation. Small breast can only accept a small amount of fat. It is not helpful and can be harmful to over inject the breasts with fat.  Over injection can lead to markedly decrease take of all of the fat.  In addition, over injection increases the risk of lumps, cysts, and calcium deposits.

The larger you want to become, the more fat you need to use but, even with BRAVA, this is a limit to how much fat can be transferred to each breast and this also depends on you current size, skin characteristics and if you have had children, etc. Expect that about a third of the fat will absorb which means that for a 600 cc expansion you will need around 900 cc or so and this is simply too much fat to transfer to one breast in most situations. However, if you were ok with a final volume of 250cc or so, you may do very well! And the last thing you want to do is overfill the breasts otherwise even more of the fat will die. Unfortunately, in your case, your breasts have never been expanded and your breast envelope appears very tight so I would not expect you to have more than 300cc of fat even with BRAVA, but you can always have another procedure. And don't forget, you have to be able to get it from somewhere and you appear pretty thin so you may not even have that much to harvest in the first place. Hope this helps and have a wonderful day.
