Is Liposuction Above Jaw Line a Bad Decision?

i want to be pretty
Buccal fat removal isn't for me and my chin area is not bad. The areas that really bother me is the area right above my jaw line and under the apples of my cheeks. My upper cheeks are full and jaw line is reasonably defined. Can smart lipo fix the lower cheeks? Traditional liposuction? Is this a dangerous procedure in terms of appearance and abnormalities? Where would the incisions be?
