Cheek Implants and Numbness After a Facial

Hello. I had cheek implant surgery 10 years ago. Post op after surgery I had numbness on my left side. It resided on its own after 6months... Just recently I had a facial with some electromagnetic application to my face... Right after treatment the numbness to my face on the left side returned... Same feeling that I had right after surgery 10 years ago... Please I need advice...
