VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.

TREATMENT: 

1. Reduction. Push the cheek pouch back inside the cheek and hope it will not come out again.
 

2. Amputation of the big everted cheek pouch. Amputation or surgical excision of the everted cheek pouch is the better option as compared to pushing back the pouch.
