Sorry to hear about your injury.
I have done both of mine a few times each side.
A couple of times in motor bike crashes and shattered both in a car smash , and a few times in punch ups . Got permanent double vision due to it now .
I did have an op after one time , but remember nothing about it .
The usual place they go is where the nerve goes up inside , sort of from the canine teeth.
Hope you are lucky and don't end up with sinus problems like me !
Until it heals , don't jump , sneeze , cough , shout or eat anything hard or chewy . You will know why i say that if you do !
Take care , and next time , ' don't let go ! '
