What is maximum number of cc's anyone can get expanded? How many cc's to achieve a D cup?

moreinfoneeded
I am a 35 year old woman who had a bi-lateral mastectomy in January. Prior to surgery I was a natural DD cup. I have tissue expanders in now, 500cc's. I would like to reach a full D cup size. My doctor wants to stop expanding now to due to stretching of skin and concerns of complications that COULD arise. He had to do a reduction/lift with excess skin immediately after mastectomy before placing tissue expanders in. Is it safe to continue expansion? How many cc's needed for full D size cup?
