Difference between Buccal fat removal and lower face liposuction?

Question

Hi. I am interested in getting one or both of these procedures done because I have a fat face. But I don't understand the difference between these two procedures. Do they target on different areas? Do they reinforce each other? Thanks!

Liposuction of the lower face usually means liposuction of the double chin ( submittal area) and /o the jowls - fatty accumulations at the level of the jaw line close to the corners of the mouth

Buccal fat removal is a procedure that removes the fat of the lower anterior cheek ( chubby cheeks) through an incision inside the mouth
