Surgeon estimated amount of fat he could liposuction was double of what he actually could liposuction. Is this normal?
I went to a surgeon whose specialty is liposuction and his average amount of fat he transfers is 200-300cc per breast. After an in-person consultation, we did a body scan which showed my height, weight, body fat percentage, muscle percentage, etc. He pinched my fat and saw my body obviously and he stated that he will be able to get over 200cc per breast.
However after surgery he only put in 125cc per breast and stated he misjudged how much usable fat I had. I know that the original 200+cc was just an estimate, but the estimate is double of what reality was. Is this normal for the estimate to be so off sometimes?
I only got liposuction on my abdomen 360 and arms because of the original estimate, now I am just feeling a lot of regret that I didn't also get my inner thighs or even went to a different surgeon. I just am not sure if spending so much money and all this recovery time is worth only 125cc of fat.
I am 57.2kg (126lb), 163cm (5'3), with 21.5% body fat.
