I had my implants removed and 100 cc fat transferred into each breast at the same time. The fat seemed to have taken very well. Two months ago I had another 470 cc fat transferred into each breast. I think my breasts are wider and have more lateral fullness now but am unsure how much increase I got. Could you help estimate how much of the 470 cc survived based on the pictures?

Answer: How much of my 470 cc fat transfer to each breast survived? Thank you for the question. At two months you should have a good idea of what has taken and what has not. Hundred cc in each breast seems like a reasonable amount. 470 mL per breast seems like a lot of fat transfer. It would not be unreasonable to anticipate anywhere from 25% to 50% of the fat will get reabsorbed.

Answer: How much of my 470 cc fat transfer to each breast survived? (photos) In general, 200 cc per breast is typically the upper limit of fat injection recommended by most plastic surgeons. It is not that more cannot be injected; but on average, this has been determined to be the most that can be expected to live during one transfer. Multiple transfers would be required for additional cc's. In general, the abdomen and thighs are preferred donor sites, but fat from other areas can be used.

Answer: Fat You did not post photos, but if all fat survived, you should gain about 3 to 3.5 cups in increase in size. You would have 570cc's of fat placed.

Answer: How much of my 470 cc fat transfer to each breast survived? The best resource of information would be your board certified plastic surgeon as he/she knows your condition best. Usually, fat transfers produce good results when the fat donor site is healthy and the individual as a whole maintains a stable, healthy lifestyle. Fat survival also depend on the surgeon's skill and techniques.
