What procedure would help define my jawline and connect my chin to my jaw? (Photo)

MaryPoppins
Would liposuction of my chin and jawline be enough to address the lack of definition in my face or am I a candidate for buccal fat pad removal?I also have a bulge on the lower portion of my cheeks that connects to the fat under my chin. I almost think that I may need a chin implant with wings to connect my chin to my jaw. I am 5'6" and 145 lbs the weight in my face really makes me look significantly heavier. A plastic surgeon has also offered to suture the muscle under my chin?
