5 Months After Facelift, What Could Cause Numb Feeling to Come & Go?

PLM11
Sometimes I could swear the area of numbness in front of both ears is completely gone; at other times it feels numb again. What could cause this variability in sensation? Also I've noticed itching and tingling in areas around my ears that were never numb to begin with -- is this related to nerve regrowth in places that were originally numb even though not in the exact location as the paresthesias? Thanks so much for your help!
