I find my cheeks puff out once in awhile if I'm really, really tired.
It's possible to puff out one's cheeks while holding the corners of your mouth tight/in; in that instance, though, I would think the oral cavity had too much pressure in it! The idea is to FOCUS the sound toward the reed (sort of like a straw) and not let the pressure push out one's cheeks like a balloon.
However, I'm not an analyzer of embouchure, either mine or anyone else's. While I was taught to (and have the best tonal success this way) keep the jaw open, relax the throat, aim for 'round'-ness, etc. I would never condemn anyone (especially a fellow amateur!) for 'slipping' with an occasional 'bite' or puff of the cheek!
With the appropriate amount of pressure, I'm talking inside the mouth cavity, your cheeks should not generally puff out. But in THIS instance I'm talking more like a nurse than some of the professionals who regularly contribute to this wonderful space.
