Oh, you know this has gotta crop up somewhere...
"... Let me guess. Last raid didn't go according to plan?"
"Fucking micrometeorites. I swear in Her Name the universe has it out for me."
As for the mass, that's easy. It gets converted into raw energy to fuel the regeneration. Rejuvenating all the remaining cells in her body to that degree is gonna take a lotta juice.
To be fair to her, we can let her power react in proportion to the severity of the injury. Scrapes and scuffs won't trigger it while bruised or broken ribs will. Also, if you want her to stick around for a LONG time, we can make it so that she'll age until she's biologically in her mid-twenties... and then stays there as her healing power maintains equilibrium with the natural process of aging. Until she hurts herself again.
Should she be able to regenerate missing limbs? I figure the 'Highlander' style of immortality would work (just about anything lethal she'll bounce back from, but sever the head and she's done).
