Untreated Broken Cheekbone - Facial Flattening and Possible Atrophy - 14 Months? What Can Be Done - Utterly Distraught? (photo)

Asked By:EnglishBill

Hello, 14 Months ago I was in a car accident, I was told that my cheekbone was broken - there was an X-Ray conducted but no CT scan. I knew from the start my cheekbone was out of place and had lost prominence but have been told by several doctors there is nothing they can do because it wasn't fixed at the appropriate time and "to just get used to it". I had disfigured one side of my entire face, which is now flat, what can be done? I'm devastated by this and the treatment I have received. Thanks
