Can massaging the skin when applying moisturizer damage fat grafts?

I had facial fat transfer 3 months age to restore lost volume due to age (I am 49) and weight loss. I'm very pleased with my results but I will need augmentation, which is scheduled for late May. I read after the first transfer that massaging the transfer site can reduce the amount of fat that survives. Can massaging the skin when applying moisturizers and the like damage the grafts? Do I need to be super gentle when applying cream? Thanks.
