What are the long term effects of a BBL on the gluteus muscles?

esssjay
I understand that some doctors Inject fat into the gluteus muscles for better survivability of the fat. What is the long term effect of fat being injected into the glute muscles? Will it possibly cause any of the glute muscles to have undue stress on them over time or less functionality? I am asking as I am a power weight lifter with an upcoming lipo surgery date and wanted to be most informed about how a BBL might possibly negatively impact my performance or if the fat will loose shape later.
