At the onset, it is important to tell you that it is not possible to magically focus on one area of the face and reduce the fat there. One will have to learn how to reduce the fat in the cheeks by losing fat all over. There are several kinds of exercises that help. Here are some of them that you can try out today.

Exercise #1
Purse your lips and keep them tightly pursed.
Then suck in one cheek and hold for 5 - 10 seconds.
Release the hold and suck in the other cheek and repeat the same pattern.
Do this exercise 5 - 8 times.

Exercise #2
Close your mouth and fill your mouth with air.
Hold the air and push it towards the right cheek and hold for 5 - 10 seconds.
Then push the air to your left cheek and hold it there.
Move the air to the upper and lower lip, holding the air in place for 5 - 10 seconds.
Do this 5 - 8 times a day.

Exercise #3
Pout your lips as much as you can.
Make sure that you're using your entire force to do this. You must feel a obvious strain in your cheek muscles.
This exercise can be repeated throughout the day, whenever you remember. (Just make sure no one's watching you).

Exercise #4
Close your mouth and smile a very wide smile. This should draw your face muscles towards your eyes.
Then push your mouth into an 'O' so that the lips are over your teeth.
Hold this position for 8 - 10 seconds and release.
Repeat this 4-5 times.

Exercise #5
Stand in front of a mirror and smile a very wide smile.
Keep your lips closed and the mouth corners turned up.
Smile so widely that you feel like the upturned corners are touching your ears.
Now wrinkle your nose.
You'll see that the cheek muscles have moved upwards (you'll feel a stretch).
Hold the position for 5 - 8 seconds and release.

Exercise #3 (Neck)
Lie on the bed and let your face hang over the side.
