29F Mini facelift, buccal fat removal, or something else for chubby cheeks? (photo)

Optimistic57814
I have chubby cheeks even though I'm skinny, which makes my nasolabial folds very prominent. This cheek fat doesn't seem to go away with age—my sister (37) and my mom (62) have the exact same chubby cheeks, even though they’re both very fit. What would I need— a mini facelift, buccal fat removal, or some liposuction? Also, my neck looks a bit odd—it seems directly attached to my chin. I don't think there's much fat there; it feels mostly like skin, but without any noticeable laxity. I really have no idea what could be done for my neck.
