Hello,
thanks for using health care magic

You see, the cheeks are compose of muscles and soft tissues are are somehow elastic. A few stretching on the cheeks will not really cause much problem or lasting problem apart from the pain that could result.

A more dreadful scenario would be if the pressure was going into your lungs which could cause baro-trauma of the lungs. This is deadly and not some thing one should ever have. Fortunately, this is not the case with you.

Best regards and hope this helps.
