Will Multiple Blows To The Cheekbone Result In The Cheekbones Growing Larger?

Hello, I d like to direct my question to a bone specialist. This is probably a really silly question however I wanted to ask anyway; I ve been in a few fights over the last year or so and recently it got me thinking; would taking multiple blows to the cheekbone area result in my cheekbones growing larger in response to stress? I know it is a bit of an absurd question but I just wanted to ask anyway.

Hello! Welcome to HealthcareMagic!

I have studied your case. Cheekbone will not grow larger in response to stress. There can be associated soft tissue swelling or there can be bony contusion. So I will advise you to consult a specialist and do further investigation. Hope this answers your query.

If you have additional questions or follow up queries, then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
