Septoplasty + Turbinate Surgery 5 days ago, still have numbness in upper/front of Mouth

Had Septoplasty + Turbinate surgery about 5 days ago. I'm healing well, and the doc took the packing out a couple of days ago. I also no longer have any gauze/cotton. Just some dried blood and mucus discharge. But I still have some numbness in the roof of my mouth towards the front. But I'm not sure if that should fade away soon or if its a residual, 'permanent' effect and if there's any cause for concern. Thank you!
