TLDR
Based on this survey, fat injections into the deep muscle, using cannulae smaller than 4 mm, and pointing the injection cannula downwards should be avoided in gluteal fat grafting and more research is necessary to increase the safety of this procedure.About:

Elective, Non-urgent Procedures and Aesthetic Surgery in the Wake of SARS-COVID-19: Considerations Regarding Safety, Feasibility and Impact on Clinical Management.
Kai O Kaye,Felix J. Paprottka,R. Escudero,Gabriela Casabona,J. Montes,R. Fakin,L. Moke,T. Stasch,Dirk F. Richter,J. Benito-Ruiz +9 more
TL;DR: A clinical algorithm is proposed to enhance patient safety in elective surgery in the context of COVID-19 and to minimize cross-contamination between healthcare workers and patients.

Staying Safe during Gluteal Fat Transplantation.
Nathaniel L. Villanueva,Daniel A. Del Vecchio,Paul N. Afrooz,Jourdan A. Carboy,Rod J. Rohrich +4 more
TL;DR: Proper patient selection, favorable instrumentation, patient positioning, proper technique, and knowledge of anatomy are critical to improving the safety of this procedure and adherence to these key principles should allow a reduction in mortality from this procedure.

Clinical Implications of Gluteal Fat Graft Migration: A Dynamic Anatomical Study
Daniel A. Del Vecchio,Nathaniel L. Villanueva,Raja Mohan,Bret Johnson,Dinah Wan,Aniketh Venkataram,Rod J. Rohrich +6 more
TL;DR: The intramuscular insertion of fat, which up to this point has been considered reasonable to perform in the superficial muscle and even recommended in the literature, is now deemed to be an inexact and risky surgical technique.

Critical Differences between Microscopic (MIFE) and Macroscopic (MAFE) Fat Embolism during Liposuction and Gluteal Lipoinjection.
Lázaro Cárdenas-Camarena,Héctor Durán,José Antonio Robles-Cervantes,Jorge Enrique Bayter-Marin +3 more
TL;DR: Although microscopic Fat Embolism and macroscopic fat embolism are pathologic conditions with high morbidity and mortality rates in association with liposuction and gluteal lipoinjection, few reports about them exist; therefore, the authors made recommendations based on this study for their diagnosis, prevention, and treatment.

TL;DR: The frequency of pulmonary embolism associated with abdominoplasty warrants further study to determine predisposing factors, understand its cause, and introduce guidelines to prevent its occurrence.

Deaths Caused by Gluteal Lipoinjection: What Are We Doing Wrong?
TL;DR: In this study, the authors found that intramuscular gluteal lipoinjection is associated with mortality caused bygluteal blood vessel damage allowing macroscopic and microscopic fat embolism; therefore, buttocks lipoin injection should be performed very carefully, avoiding injections into deep muscle planes.

Determining the Safety and Efficacy of Gluteal Augmentation: A Systematic Review of Outcomes and Complications.
TL;DR: A systematic review of the two most popular techniques for buttock augmentation demonstrated substantially lower overall complication rates, and a standardized method of measuring patient satisfaction is necessary to fully understand outcomes of these increasingly popular procedures.

Combined gluteoplasty: liposuction and lipoinjection.
TL;DR: A good result does not depend on a great amount of fat infiltration but rather on a harmonious way of combining both surgical procedures: fat elimination by liposuction and gluteus augmentation by lipoinjection.
