Would a lower facelift minimize the appearance of saggy fat deposits at the sides of my mouth? (photos)

Question

For as long as I can remember I have had large saggy fat deposits at the side of mouth that really ruin my facial contours. These fat deposits (I assume) sit just on the outer side of where I anticipate my marionette lines will eventually be. I have no idea what to try to get rid of them but they really age me. Would a lower face lift or perhaps aqualyx fix them?

Hello, hope you are well! The views in the photos that you submitted are very limited, but based on what can be seen I would consider buccal fat removal as an alternative treatment option. A lower facelift may not be necessary, but it is not possible to give more precise advice without seeing more of your face and neck.
Best,Dr. Tower

These are very likely fat deposits. The best treatment would be direct, controlled excision. This can be achieved using small incision(s) inside of the lip closed to the mouth corner. Good luck.
