Micro-liposuction to the Face After Fat Transfer?

Marian_12
I'm wondering, will micro-liposuction to part of the cheek damage surrounding fat grafts and thus cause them to reabsorb? How long should one wait after a facial fat transfer before having liposuction performed to an area close to these fat grafts? How long does it take for the surrounding grafts to be 'stable' so that they won't get damaged by the trauma of the cannula in a surrounding area? Thank you for your help!
