If you transfer too fat much during BBL (like 1000-1200 cc per cheek), will it survive? Is there a standard/recommended amount?

Hello, I have gone to a few consultations with different surgeons and recieved different responses to the my question. 1 Doc said they will only put up to 600 cc in each cheek bc if you put more, that fat will die and 600 cc is usually your final result after swelling, etc. Another Dr. said about 1000-1200 which is double what the last one said. So, if you put too much fat, will it die as it has to establish a blood source? I would like the max fat. Thanks for your input.
