How can I slim the superior & inferior jowl fat pads? (Photos)

Emily_A
Hi all, I seem to have a bulge of fat around the area to the sides of my mouth down to the jowl. Is the fullness here caused by the shallow fat or the deep fat? Does buccal fat continue this far down? What’s my best option here? I see this area is frequently treated in addition when people recieve submental liposuction, but I can’t seem to find many examples where it is treated on its own.
