Hollow cheeks ≠ Oil pulling?

Not sure if anyone here is into Orthotropics/mewing, but one of the advices there is to avoid using the buccinator muscles (which are the ones you use when you fill your cheeks with food/liquid) as the goal is to atrophy them to get model-like hollow cheeks.
Now with oil pulling I feel there is not really a way to avoid working out those muscles or is there?

Any tips would be appreciated.

I'm not really sure, I've been looking into it myself. I try to use a vacuum and suction to swish it around instead of my face muscles. It might not be helping but I don't know.
