Hi so what happen to your check bone did heel
I was rob and I got hit with a steal object and it's been more than a week and I feel a knot
Hi there, I just wondered how long after did you swelling eventually go down? I was punched in the face two weeks ago and I still have hard tender spot, which is still quite swollen. I am trying all sorts to get it down. Interested to know if your's ever improved?
August 2016, I had a bicycling accident where the right side of my face slammed into the concrete when my bicycle hit a mud patch. It was very black blue yellow purple Etc.
My cheekbone right under my eye still is swollen and tender everyday. People only "really"notice if I point it out, but it still bothers me. Ocuplastic physician has no idea what, if anything, can be done :-(
In my case, the swelling and discoloration wen down quite a lot over the first 3 weeks. During that time I had one procedure in which a small cut was made on my face and a lot of blood and black clotted blood was squeezed out. Another time I had some of the same removed through a needle and syringe. Now, 6 monts after the accident there is no discolorization and just a tiny bump on my face. If you did not know it was there you would not see it.
I have swelling on my face due to injury. Icing has not helped much. I have read that raw potato works well, so I will try that tomorrow.
Hi, I was wondering if you still have a hard tender spot and swelling? I was punched 3 times in the face. I also think I banged my head. I have a hard tender lump on the tip of my cheekbone. I've also started getting pain in my head. I was checked out at the time and told it was just bruising. Hope you're feeling better
Hi there, it has been 5 months know since the incident. I was punched twice in the cheek and was knocked unconscious! I had scans etc and all were normal at the time. The swelling took four weeks to go down, but I now have a permanent lump also in my checkbone. Although others cannot tell, one cheek is slightly larger than the other and I now have a crooked smile. It feels like there is something lodged in my cheekbone and it becomes sensitive with hot and cold water. I am having regular headaches, so I will be going to a plastic surgeon to see what permanent damage has been done.
It's been 31/2 months since I hit the left side of my face. The large swelling and bruising went away quickly, but I developed a hematoma inside under the skin on my cheek. That has since gone away, but I still have some slight swelling on my left cheek. It's only noticeable to me and I'm hoping it will soon go down. That sounds like what you are dealing with also. Give it some time. If mine doesn't soon go away, I will go see the doctor again. Maybe you should do the same.
You developed a hematoma which will go away with time. Just keep massaging it with lotion or massage oil on your fingers.
I'm in the same situation as you guys and have been looking for a solution to it. I got punched on the jaw around 4 months ago and on my right jaw where I got hit is still a hard stiff spot. Has anyone have success in reverting the swelling back to normal? Did anyone else try getting the "knot" removed through different means? maybe plastic surgery or through "sucking" out the blood knot from the spot? Any help would be appreciated as I already visited my TMJ doctor and had x-ray scans which proved that everything was fine however the swollen spot is still there.
Hi,
Ten days ago i had a massive blow to my cheekbone. After the swelling went down, i noticed a slight indent that is still red, plus small pip sized nodule under skin on tip of cheekbone. I thought maybe it was a bone fragmnet so went to A and E, Dr there said xrays wouldnt change the outcome, so shouldnt be needlessly exposed to radiation, as my injury is 10 days old and i could still function, open my jaw etc, but he thought probably fractured zygoma. He said if no improvement to follow up with GP.
Now left with red indent and nodule on tip of cheekbone, which looks awful. Dr thought nodule wasnt hard enough to be bone but thought maybe hematoma, it does feel sharp and uncomfy to lay on. What was the long term outcome with other people here? thinking of fat trasfer or getting nodule burred if it doesnt absorb.
Hi there, I had a cheekbone injury almost 7 months ago - it has taken that long to go down. It is still a little tender when I push down on the area, but it does take a long time. Good luck.
Thanks for the post Priscilla. My injury happened 4 mos ago and it still feels tender when I press on it. The swelling isn't that noticeable to others, but I can tell it's there. My doctor told me it would take about 6 mos, but I had come to the conclusion that it was never going away. I will just keep waiting.
You have a hematoma. It will go away. Just keep massaging it with your finger tips. Be blessed!!

I wonder if Blotty will ever reply???
Yah , o well doubt he would be much help anyway.
Hi there... Is anyone successful in reverting to normal please let us know.
I have similar issue. I met with a minor accident 7months back and hit my cheek bone. I developed a hematoma which has went down but seems it has stopped at certain point. Now my one cheek is bit fatter and also stiff. I have less sensitivity on one side. Any reply to my query will appreciate. I request you to share your experience of healing completely and also the time it has taken
I developed a hematoma after a fall in Nov 2017. It is now June 2018 and I feel that the way I look now is normal from now on. The bruising and hematoma are completely gone, but I still have very slight swelling on cheekbone. I can live with it, but it's there!!! I felt that people noticed and weren't saying anything. I asked family members and close friends and they said it's barely noticeable. If I hadn't said anything they wouldn't have known. It took 6 mos to get to this point. I hope my situation helped.
