Those are fat deposits, alot of geckos get those from being fed a high "fat" diet. I know of them under the arms, but never heard of them near the cheek...but I suppose it's possible. They store fat there just like in their tail.
I dont believe it's anything to worry about, but too much fat in a diet is never a good thing.
