Mine healed on it's own luckily, your injuries are far more serious than mine were. I saw an ENT surgeon the morning following the accident and he described the likelihood of needing a plate to support my cheekbone but said that I was too swollen to even be examined thoroughly. A week later he saw me and said "keep doing whatever it is that you are doing."
