broken cheek bone

broken cheek bone

My brother is 18 years old and Thursday he collided heads with another boy during a pick up game of football. He was taken to the ER and given 8 stitches for the cut above his eye. Then doctors then said he broke his cheek bone in 3 different places and may need surgery to insert screws in his cheek. I was just wondering would the screws be noticeable and will they leave a mark on his face when he recovers and how long do you think it will take him to heal after this injury and after his surgery?

no, the screws will not be very noticeable. and he mostly likely will have some scarring, but it won't be that bad.
