Fillers and surgery - do I need to dissolve them first?

At 58 I lost a bit of weight and now have pronounced jowls and a saggy neck area. To address this non-invasively and to add volume to my hollow cheeks I used cheek fillers extensively to try lift the jaw area. To no avail. I am now booked in for a face lift afat graft next month to the cheek area. My Q is whether the fillers will be an issue for the fat transfer to “take”? Do I need to dissolve them first?
