jowl
Loose facial flesh
Jowl refers to the fleshy part of the lower cheek and jaw area, particularly when it sags or droops.
The word often appears in the plural to describe the loose skin hanging below the jawline that becomes more prominent with age: His heavy jowls quivered when he spoke.
Dogs like bulldogs and bloodhounds are noted for their pronounced jowls.
In butchery, jowl denotes the cheek meat of a pig, used in dishes like guanciale.
