Noticeable pockets of fat next to lips. Is this buccal fat? (photos)

tildalouise
I have these noticeable bumps or pockets of fat next to my lips that sag down. I was wondering if this could be an extension of my buccal fat pads or is it something else. If you could recommend any suitable treatments such as fat dissolving injections or buccal fat removal I would greatly appreciate it!!
