Saline Direct Injection 700 CCs to Breast to Stretch Tissue During Fat Graft Consult, is This Safe?

SamyOrien
Hi, I recently went in for a fat graft to breast consult and was told my tissue was too tight and that I could stretch the tissue with a saline injection. I agreed, knowing saline is a safe substance, and was shortly injected with 350 ccs of saline to each breast (700ccs total). The dr did it himself, there are 3 puncture marks on each breast, sterile needles and local anesthesia was used. By the evening, all the saline had been reabsorbed by my body. Are there any dangers to this?
