Can fat cells die 10 months post-op?

Sophia689
I had a Bbl fat transfer to hips 10 months ago. 2 weeks ago I lay on my hip to do an exercise. Since then one hip has completely deflated. Is this possible fat cells can die this late post op? I had amazing results and fat cell survival till then. Will they come back or are the permanently gone? I thought they would be permanent by now so that's why I thought it was safe to lay on the hip and put pressure on it
