Fat Removal or Weight Loss? (photo)

Eve13
I have a saggy-looking face, with hooded eyelids and lots of fat on my lower face, even though the only other place I have much extra fat is my legs. I also have a bit of a double chin, but only when I turn my head certain ways. Would a buccal lipectomy be a good idea? Or would weight loss fix it? I am 21.
