How To Get Rid Of Dents On Cheek?
About 4 months ago I got hit in the face by a stranger and it bruised my cheek badly. It was swollen for about a week pretty bad. After the swelling went down, it left a dent in my cheek when I try to smile. I can t fully smile on that side of my face anymore either, so now I have a lopsided smile. Its been 4 months! Is this permanent? Is there a way to get rid of the dent and have my face return to normal?
