Tummy tuck, BBL & sublocade injection - could depot end up in my butt?

mom of seven
I want to get a tummy tuck and a BBL. I receive Sublocade Injections monthly in my stomach right now subcutaneously. I’m concerned that while lipo suctioning it’s possible for a doctor to suck up the depot and after the machine filters the fat that the gel depot will make it and end up in my butt and kill me. I wanted to ask on here for several opinions that are familiar with Sublocade. Am I being silly and paranoid? I’ve looked all over the internet and haven’t been able to find an answer.
