Suspected Facial Nerve Damage, Left Side Cheek Bone? (photo)

June 19, 2012
Asked By:em1988

Hey, Two years ago I had an accident in my bathroom where I slipped fell and knocked my head against the bathtub on my way down. The blow was to my cheekbone/orbital area, left side. Sought minimal medical treatment. Area is still a bit numb..if touched too much it swells and hurts a little. There has been increased facial asymmetry I have noticed. I am convinced it is nerve damage. What do you think? If so what should I do, who should I see and what can be done?
