How to stop using cheek muscles?

[TariiqBih]

I have noticed i look bloated and have puffy cheeks after chewing or training masseters, how to stop using the cheek muscles so they become smaller and only activate the masseters?

It's normal to get some temporary swelling after chewing, that's just increased blood flow. Chewing with your mouth open will engage your cheeks less tho.

chewing with mouth open is the best way to enforce proper swallowing as it doesn't engage the buccinators and relies only on the tongue muscle. chewing with mouth closed is just a modern invention for the sake of manners.
