What Are the Long Term Side Effects of Fat Grafting?

needaphatbooty13
What are the long term side effects of a Brazilian Butt Lift (fat grafting)? Is it possible that the fat can die and cause a bad infection or something worse? I know an implant needs to be replaced after 10-15 yrs but does fat that has been transfered one place to another go bad?
