jowls
Loose chin flesh
Jowls are the fleshy, often sagging parts of the lower cheeks and jaw.
The word typically appears in plural form and carries connotations of heaviness or looseness: His jowls quivered when he laughed.
Jowly describes someone with prominent jowls.
The word also applies to similar folds of flesh on animals, particularly dogs like bulldogs and bloodhounds.
