Soft lump on jawline

I've got a soft lump on one side of my jaw. It's exactly where I think my jowls will be - directly below the outside of my eyes.

It appeared a year ago and has slowly grown.

It's definitely soft (I have a soft face with some extra fat, so it blends in). Underneath it's hard and raised, but it's difficult to feel if it's different from the other side.

Could it be lopsided jowls?

The dentist has felt and said that there's nothing worrying from their perspective. The GP said they couldn't see or feel a lump 🤔

I'm wondering about asking the dentist for an x-ray to cover that area when I next go.

Has anyone experienced similar?

I get saliva gland stones if don't drink enough water, could it be that?

I drink lots of water, but I'll look into that, thanks

I'm now wondering if I'm overthinking it and it's just jowls 😭
