Question 1

what are the symptoms of a broken cheekbone?i do not feel pain but i feel like left cheekbone is lower. i had ct scans taken and doctors said no fracture. when i touch it it feels numb and tingling. i was assaulted and received a big hit on cheekbon?

Accepted Answer

Nerve pinch: The CT would have picked up any fracture. The sensations you describe suggest a nerve was traumatized &amp; is now sending phantom messages. These would generally gradually self heal over weeks to months. Sometimes numbness indicates a torn nerve that will not heal.

Question 2

can you tell me about normal symptoms after maxilla fracture?

Accepted Answer

Maxilla fracture: The answer to your question depends.  Such an injury may case pain, misaligned teeth, broken or missing teeth, bruising, swelling, or nose bleeds.  These are normally caused by trauma and they can be quite serious!

I highly recommend you get some personal medical attention for this problem immediately.

Question 3

i had a maxilla fracture. what are some normal symptoms regarding this?

Accepted Answer

Depends on location: depending on the location and extent of the fracture, numbness of the cheek and bruising /swelling of the cheek and possibly gums/lining of the mouth are possible. You could have loose teeth, issues with the eye on that side, changes in how the teeth fit together and even sinus issues. You could have a depression of the cheek too. You should really discuss with your facial surgeon

Question 4

how do you heal a broken cheekbone?

Accepted Answer

Diagnose first: The first and most important step is to see a healthcare provider to diagnose the type of fracture you have.  If it is a non-displaced fracture, no treatment may be necessary.  If there is displacement of the fracture, the location and type of fracture(s) can dictate what surgical approach will be used.  Afterwards, healing is dependent upon a healthy diet and following postop instructions.

If a zygoma: Fracture also breaks through the floor of the orbital rim ; the inferior rectus muscle becomes entrapped that can certainly cause eye damage.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

If you had: a traumatic event to your cheekbone (zygomatic arch), then you may have a fracture that should show up on facial X-rays after 1-2 weeks.  Persistent pain in specific location on examination of the arch as well as facial asymmetry/ abnormal indentation, etc.  It's more common for the orbital bone to fracture during a traumatic fall/ accident.

hello. i am 39 years old without any health problems. sometimes i have in left cheekbone  corner tingling it comes and go.  ther symptoms. no headaches or other problems. why this is happen?can be from dental problem? blood test ok may2020?

Accepted Answer

Tingling: Since the tingling sensation remains very localized, and especially if it's a small zone, and there are no other body areas involved and no other neurological symptoms, I think you have an irritable superficial facial nerve that is more of a nuisance than anything serious. A neurologist can evaluate you if you still have concerns.

i hit the right side of my head hard on a wall 3 days ago, got a lump after a few hours on the temple, with neck, head, even cheekbone pain. i haven't had any concussion symptoms like nausea/dizziness. is this normal or should i get checked out?
