broken cheekbone

my mother fell on ice and broke her cheek bone on thursday dec. 25th, 2008; which was two days ago. you said that the operation should take place immediately and the doctor is going to do the CAT scan on monday and the appointment on Tuesday is this safe to take that long and what is the extreme time that could be taken until the operation?

Surgery performed in the first week or so after this type of injury is sufficient time to allow reduction of the bone fracture without the bones mending into place.
