A plastic surgeon stated that he can inject facial fat using cannulas inserted into the corners of my mouth. Pros and cons?

I have lost volume around my mouth and in my upper cheeks. Can harvested fat be injected into both corners of my mouth to reach these areas adequately for depositing the fat? I have never encountered this approach before, but it seems appealing. Please educate me.
