Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of bumps on the cheekbone after fall which can occur due to soft tissue injury leading to rupture of blood vessels and loss of subcutaneous fat.

Need not to worry. You should do alternate warm and cool compresses over the cheekbone and consult oral physician and an oral and maxillofacial surgeon and get evaluated and a proper examination and investigations like facial x-rays, MRI to rule out any facial bone fracture and head injury and can help in diagnosis and treatment. For soft tissue injury you should start taking anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
