A member asked:
Could a facial fracture on the cheek cause any damage permanently ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If nondisplaced fracture like anywhere else in body will heal without deformity. If depression or displacement can result in deformity. The xray or CT demonstrating the fracture finding should describe the above findings. If displacement or depression then should probably consult plastic or maxillofacial surgeon.
