BBL: injecting under muscle for maximum fat survival?

beabea91
I read somewhere that fat cells will likely survive if it is injected under muscle and not under the skin - is it true? Why can certain dr inject more than 2500 cc (a girl with bmi25 received this amount by an nyc dr) each cheek while others can only inject 1000cc as their maximum? Ill do BBL soon and im looking for a dr who can do aggressive lipo. im 5'7 161lbs athletic build but lots of excess fat.
