Since : Since the zygoma fracture was so long ago i think you should concentrate for now on having the right orbit fixed. The indentation could probably be filled with injectable fillers or bone grafted as a cosmetic procedure. There is a small nerve that enters the face through a small opening between the most prominent part of the cheekbone and the nostril. This supplies feeling to the area where you have the numbness. It was probably damaged at the time of the fracture.
