Lower Facial Liposuction?

I am relatively happy with my upper cheeks but am unhappy with the lower part of my face and would prefer a more contoured look. Both my parents have always had larger lower cheeks. I understand that lower facial liposuction is risky as there are a lot of nerves that can be damaged and dimpling may occur. I'm definitely not interested in altering my cheekbones or filling the upper part of my face. What can I do to remove the fat from my lower cheeks?
