jowled
With drooping cheeks
Having jowls—the fleshy, often sagging skin along the lower cheeks and jaw.
Usually appears with a modifier: heavy-jowled, slack-jowled.
The word describes faces where the lower jaw area is prominent or drooping, whether from age, weight, or natural build: a jowled bulldog, the jowled face of an aging politician.
