What is the success rate of fat transfer to the face ?

Thaley91
I want a very subtle fat transfer to add volume to my cheeks and a little around my mouth, I chose fat transfer because its permanent but I have heard some say it's a great option and some say it may also dissolve just like a filler. Does it depend where you get it? I don't want to feel like I've wasted my money
