Is there a procedure to remove this bump on my broken cheekbone?

GeorgeCirr
I experienced what I believe was a broken cheek bone 10 months ago. I never sought treatment, and it appears to be healed but there is a sizable bump below and outside my eye socket. It doesn't cause any significant cosmetic problems but is causing pain, sinus issues, and feels like it's infringing on my lower eyelid. Is a procedure to remove that bump possible, necessary, or suggested? If so, how is the surgery performed and is it worth the cost and risk?
