How much projection can fat grafting to the chin get?

aries k
I'd much rather do fat grafting with my own fat than an implant - however, my question is, how much volume can a graft add? I've already gotten 2 grafts and both, right after the procedure my chin was perfect, but both times the chin shrunk after the swelling subsided. I did see improvement after each procedure. Should I just continue to do this until I get the projection I want, or is there a limit to the amount of fat the chin will take?
