Was too much fat grafted at once in fat graft breast augmentation? 500cc's were injected, I am 2 days post op.

Docevita2007
Had fat grafting to breasts 2 days ago. During preop/ consult dr indicated 180-200cc would be injected into each breast. This was fine but I knew that up to 50% of fat would not take so we did discuss overfilling to anticipate loss. Have had children so had room for the fat. Size prior: 36 b , 34 c. After surgery learned 500cc injected in each. After research, concerned too much injected at once, which I understand reduces the chance of fat survival, not to mention I don’t want large breasts.
