Is this buccal fat, lower facial fat, or jowls? What will fix it? (Photo)

nadiastennett
I'd like your thoughts on whether the fat pockets on either side of my chin are jowls, lower facial fat or buccal fat and the best approach for removing them to get a streamlined jawline. At the moment I'm considering submental lipo, would this help?
