I am looking for a large size increase with this procedure and will definitely incorporate BRAVA for pre-expansion. But I was wondering how many times this procedure can be done realistically? Also I was wondering how many times a certain area can be harvested for fat cells, and how much time would be required between each fat harvesting session? I don't like the look of breast implants, and money is not a huge factor for me. Thanks!

There is another possibility that you should consider: using Sculptra in the areas that need some fill or contour correction, since fat transfer might not be an option. Best to speak with a plastic surgeon in your area who is familiar with body contouring revisions.All the best,
