Maxilla Fracture Healing Time?

Rameez
I am a 16 year old male. I had an accident on 24th june where I got a fracture on my face(maxillary). Doctors said I may need a maxillofacial surgery but a week later they said there's no need of any surgery as the fracture will heal on its own.. A month later I noticed the right side of my face swelling and when I visited my doctor he said its the tissue fluids reacting to the fractured bone and it will take 2-6months to heal. 5months are alredy over and my face is still not back to normal :(
