Can fat be transferred to the same area of face where hyaluronic acid was previously injected?

dex80
As a candidate for facial fat transfer (pre-jowl area and along the mandibular angle), I´m wondering whether fat cells and Juvederm voluma can coexist in the same skin layer without the risk for infection?? Also, my doctor told me that only 30-40% of fat will survive(?!) Is that true???
