Is Buccal Fat Removal and Chin Liposuction my best option?

I have what I think as chip munk cheeks, so yeah I would say I was a good candidate or is because of the way I sleep and it’s loose skin? would I be better with FaceTite or something else? The overall look I would like is a more obvious jawline and less puffiness. Please help
