Can buccal fat removal help with my lower face definition? I'm 50. (photos)

opar0002Dec 30, 2021
Can buccal fat removal help with my lower face definition? I’m 50 and seem to have a less tight jaw/lower face than I like, with some extra tissue next to the mouth, marionette line area, even tried to fix with a filler. Saw somewhere on YouTube that it could be fat that could be removed but when I research the procedure it seems that the area that is addressed with buccal fat removal targets an area higher on the face. Please advise.
