It's done all the time when women have to have a mastectomy (removal of breast, normally as treatment for cancer), and they want to have the breast reconstructed. There are several ways to do it, almost always some of the underlying muscle is used:
1) from the abdomen (so-called TRAM flap - flap because the part being removed remains attached to your body),
2) from the latissimus dorsi muscle, which is in the back (so-called 'lat flap')
(In these two cases, they just unhitch one end of the muscle and move it under the skin with the fat attached to where it needs to go), or
3) from the buttock or thigh (so-called 'free flap' - because the part moved is detached from your body before sewing it in place); they have to cut a piece out of the appropriate part, usually taking some of the muscle (e.g. gluteus maximus), although there is a new procedure which can be used if they can find a portion of fat that has its own blood supply, then they don't have to take any muscle; then they sew the flap where it needs to go, one blood vessel at a time under a microscope - takes about 11 hours and there's a 5% chance it won't 'take' and will have to be removed.

To my knowledge you can in fact relocate fat. In my opinion it would not make you fake just re-proportioned.
