Hi doctors, So 6-7 years ago in PE class, a classmate hit both of my cheeks (causing jaw pain & flatness) I thought it wasn’t a big deal & ignored it but now I am left with uneven cheekbones after that incident. My right cheek has sunked while the left one had been elevated going sideways. Also, the jaw part near my ear hurts and locks usually when I eat ever since it happened. Is there still a way to fix my cheekbones? I just want them to be back to normal :(
