Question
Hello doctor, I just broke my cheekbone, in the middle of my nose and cheekbones, little displacement and when broken, my face is still balanced, only slightly swollen and can still open my mouth. I had laparoscopic surgery at Viet Duc hospital for nearly 1 month, the broken side still seems swollen, the cheekbones are a bit big on the other side. So is it because the screw brace makes it bigger? I hope the doctor can explain it to me. Thank you doctor.
