Would A Cheek Bone Fracture Be A Possibility Here?

Yes, last night I slipped in the bathroom and fell partially on my cheek bone on my face an small part of my jaw. My cheek swelled up and now under my eye and on the side of my nose is all black & blue. Pain is bearable, but do you think I could have possibly fractured my cheek bone?
