Is there any research or stats on the likelihood of oil cysts and when they tend to occur after breast fat transfers?

Hi all, I’m interested in getting fat transferred to my breasts (more for fullness and less for a size change). I’ve seen some reviews where women have mentioned that they developed oil cysts, calcification and other lumps. Roughly what percentage of cases result in lumps (how common is this)? Is there a time period in which an oil cyst might appear? Will this be a persistent concern or would I be “safe” after a time period? And does post-op weight change increase the likelihood of oil cysts?
