What would you recommend to fix my face atrophy and drooping right cheek? (Photos)

April 25, 2018
Asked By:dpryann in Philadelphia, PA

About 10 months ago I was hit in the right side (when viewing the picture it’s the left side) of my face with a baseball fracturing my zygomatic arch in multiple places and orbital floor. They used 5 plates to reset my cheekbone and another to repair the floor. As you can see from the side angle I lost some of my cheekbone definition. Is this causing the atrophy or is it the aftermath of the swelling? How can I restore some of the symmetry I lost?
