After otoplasty, my ears are still really numb. Should I be worried? (Photo)

Anthony1696
It's been a week since my otoplasty surgery and I got my bandages removed 2 days ago, yet my ears are still really numb. Whenever I touch them it's like I'm not touching my own skin. Should I be worried? Or call off from work? It also hurts a little.
