Bira, the way you pose this question makes it interesting.

Cheeks that are built, when the eye (palpebral, lower) has lost build, will allow the cheeks to squish the tissues above causing a crinkled look. Basically lacking in a smooth transition over the muscle. Additionally, it's the breakdown of the tissues that allow for "crinkling." You'll notice even a young child will get "wrinkles" when they smile. But they are fuller, and thicker. If the Cheeks were flatter (which I don't think is ideal), they wouldn't push up perhaps as noticeably, but then you'd have sag below.

So, as an adult, I would be incorporating massage of the area, as well as making sure that my lower lids were getting work!

Re foam rolling, there are some people who have done things from rolling can's of soda (diet coke etc) cold from the fridge (I'm not one), but do remember trying a Pritt Stick once. The other thing that I tried on a line, and many people tried it after I suggested was using an Oral B Electronic Toothbrush, to get the circulation going in the lined area. It sounds mad, but you would be amazed at the feeling of it and the results. I used to have a couple of faint lines on my forehead (which I had since a teenager from constantly raising my brows, and they are history now).

I think many of the line problems people have aren't so much with the muscles, but the connective tissue sitting on top of the muscles, and so for me massage is one of the ultimate tools for this.
