Cheek Swollen Years After Hitting Bike Handlebar. How To Rectify?

Hi, I am 16 in july and when I was 13 I hit my cheek on a bike handlebar playing football and the cheek swelled, after these 3 years my cheek still looks swollen as it is bigger than the other side. Any suggestions on how to fix it and a solution to what the effects of the knock has done? Thanks

Hi.
The probable reason can be found only on a MRI or CT scan of the area affected. This may be related to the bones, sinuses , anything arising from the teeth roots and so on.
The scans will guide for the further treatment under an ENT or Facio-maxillary Surgeon.
