Does this look like excess buccal fat? (photo)

Momofboys0917
I’ve always hated the fullness in my lower cheeks. I’ve done cheek injections but wold prefer a more permanent solution. 1- is the circled area buccal fat? 2- will my face droop if I remove it? 3- how does this play into lack of fat and aging? I’m 38 now and I feel like most women in my family have heaviness and sagging on their bottom face. Any other thoughts on the process? (Liposuction isn’t an option as I’m not a fan of the procedure)
