Hello,
Sometimes it is normal to have one cheek bigger than the other. As your baby has no pain and no symptoms, it's absolutely normal. Slowly as the face grows, the asymmetry will disappear and both the cheeks come to same size. You don't need to worry or go to doctor. You can relax and wait and watch.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
