Is fat injection into muscle recommended?

Asked By:lovehandlesbegone in Tampa, FL

I have picked a doc to do my bbl. He is an experienced (20 +years), American Board certified PS. He says that he injects some of the fat into the muscle for higher survival %. However Ive read that injecting into the muscle increases chances of fat embolism. He has assured me that he does 2 to 3/ week for the past 15 +years and injects as he's withdrawing the blunt cannula to prevent this. Am I being paranoid or should I request that he only inject into the fat..and if so, will it take?
