I would love to answer your questions. The first thing I would recommend to slenderize your lower face would be a buccal fat pad removal. This will help slim down the center between your cheekbones and jawline to help create a more defined, contour to your face. Afterwards, it is possible that because we would be taking away volume in the regionalized area it would increase the appearance of your nasal labial folds and jowls, in which case you would benefit from a face lift. A facelift alone would only target the area from above your jawline up to about the corners of your eyes. This would also help reposition the fat that overtime as we age starts to migrate down. Just bringing some of that tissue back up would also help with smoothing out the malar mounds. 
Best of luck , Dr J.D Luck
