Survival rate for breast fat transfer?

Newtoblogs
Hello!! I'm pretty slim (about 45kg and 1.55m). My boobs are about 170/180cc each and I'm thinking of breast fat transfer. I'm really hoping for 100cc more in each breast. I've seen a few surgeons who have told me that I can retain between 65cc to 100cc in each breast and they can harvest between 350cc to 450cc. What's the fat survival / retention percentage? I heard that survival rate is around 60-70% but how much goes in after purification? Thanks
