Am I a candidate for chin lipo despite having a very small amount of chin fat? (Photo)

Question

I have a strange predicament where I'm quite thin (5'4, 120 lbs), but my body loves to hang onto this small bulge of fat directly beneath my chin. It makes my jawline look recessed (I know my chin is a bit recessed, but the fat makes it more pronounced) and also makes my chin look longer from the frontal view. The pics are of me normally vs. me holding back the fat underneath my chin with my thumb. Am I a candidate for chin lipo? Any recs if not?

Ultherapy  is a non-invasive procedure that lifts the neck, chin and brow, and improves lines and wrinkles on the upper chest. As we age, collagen breaks down, resulting in loss of skin strength and elasticity. For tissue tightening, Ultherapy  is ideal for the lower face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Morpheus8 to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity.

Your chin, jawline and neck look 100% normal and aesthetically. Very good.
I see absolutely no indication for having Liposuction.
The procedure is far more likely to leave you with regret rather than improvements.
You don’t have an abnormal fat distribution.
