Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The chronic cheek biting can cause a growth in the cheek resulting in irritational fibroma or frictional keratosis. Consult a oral physician and get it examined. the possible cause of cheek biting could be the sharp cuspal edges of the teeth. Get the sharp cuspal edges rounded off.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.

HI
Well come to HCM
Hanging cheeks as per you say is not the disease and this can not be treated at the most you can have a opinion from the plastic surgeon if can do something but in my opinion this would be normal condition, hope this helps.
