Is it the doctor's negligence? Can my body reject the fat? What is the reason for it?

I have had a liposuction with fat transfer to my buttocks and hips. 2 weeks after I started having pain in one side of my hips, swollen, warm to the touch. It turned out to be an infection, had to be drained and I received antibiotics. Then a week later, it happened to the other side too. Now, I'm going on 22 days since my operation. I have another pimple/infection that my Dr drained yesterday. I'm in a lot of pain. This is 3 so far. Where did all go wrong?
