What Causes A Bump On Cheekbone After A Concussion?

Hello, I got a concussion about three weeks ago due to getting kicked in the face from soccer. Since then, I ve had this large bump on my cheekbone that hasn t shrunk in size- if anything it seems as though its grown more. I have no swelling and mild bruising on my jaw bone. My concern is that when I make any facial expression, the side of my face that has the bump does not move. Half of my face will smile and the other half will not. It hasn t gotten any better and I m not sure if its just internal swelling that hasn t gone down yet or if its the bump that s causing it? Thank you for taking the time to read my question. If I should seek out a doctor about this, which type of specialized doctor should I ask?
