I'm a male who wants my two nasolabial fat pads (jowl pads) removed to look chiseled. Options? (photo)

1) I dont want to ruin the youthful malar fat pad. Does the nasolabial fat pad exist in ISOLATION? Some facial fat photos online show the nasolabial fat pad as SEPERATE. Its right below the malar fat pad. In other photos, it's PART of he malar fat pad?! 2. Is the nasolabial fat pad key for looking young? Will I look HIV+ if I removed it? Btw... Filling in the nasolabial fold would NOT help me look *CHISELED*!
