What you have got is Oral SubMucous Fibrosis. Nothing to worry since you have stopped the habit. Just go to a Good Oral Surgeon in your area and Get the Bands cut which have formed in your cheek muscles. They can be cut by a Blade or Laser. Some also recommend Hylouronidase Injection but that has a limited effect.
