From your photos, the jowling and the heaviness around the mouth appear more related to SMAS laxity rather than fat, so liposuction would not be the right treatment. A mini facelift can help, but the pattern you have may benefit more from a conservative lower-face SMAS tightening rather than a very limited “mini” approach. Non-surgical options like HIFU (Ultherapy-type treatments) can improve mild laxity and provide some definition, but they generally cannot correct true jowling on their own. HIFU is best thought of as a supportive treatment or a way to maintain results, not a replacement for a surgical lift when the deeper tissues have already descended. The exact decision—whether a mini lift is enough, whether a slightly broader SMAS lift would give a more stable contour, and how much HIFU could contribute—really depends on the thickness of your tissues and how much support your lower face needs, which is best assessed in person.
