22 y/o, low body fat but chubby face. Is it normal? Shold I seek plastic surgery?

urlm
First of all I'm hoping that someone with medical expertise, especially in this field, can tell me whether or not this is normal. I know the body develops very differently from person to person. I also know that I'm a late bloomer that hit puberty very late. Is it normal for me that I still have a very chubby face? Or should I seek plastic surgery immediately? I have chubby cheeks and a very visible nasolabial fold. I feel like a general fat reduction of my face would solve all my problems!
