Do hyaluronic based fillers affect the results of a facial fat transfer even after they are dissolved?

Tough244327
I'm planning to get a facial fat transfer but due to recovery am considering getting fillers to tide me over, and dissolving in prep for the fat transfer when time comes. Wondering if scar tissue or channels from the filler in 'virgin territory' affects the overall chance of a good outcome for the transfer. I know many people start with fillers, but since I haven't, is there an advantage to my face being unfilled before the fat procedure? Male, 30s
