It appears to me from your photos that you have prominent buccal fat pads. Each person is born with buccal fat pads.

In the photos provided, it appears that your chin is small and underprojected. I would recommend a chin implant or sliding genioplasty to increase horizontal projection. This will give the appearance of a longer lower face and give you a slimmer look without removing the buccal fat pad.

Small pockets of fat around the lips or the corners of the mouth, usually called perioral mounds, are not secondary to enlarged buccal fat pads. They are usually secondary to enlarged modiolus (confluence of the muscles of the face on he lips). Therefore, buccal fat removal does not address this...
