Where does the fat that does not survive after a fat grafting procedure go?

Asked By:ctimmons

If fat is grafted from my abdomen to my buttocks and only 60% survives, does the other 40% go back to my abdomen? Does it distribute to several places on my body? Does it just disappear? Does it go somewhere that could be harmful to me?
