How long will numbess and tingling last?

azndude160
I had surgery to fix a fracture to my left orbital floor. The first two days were fine but after I started the warm compress part of my left face started feeling a bit numb with tingling sensations. The most noticeable areas I feel numb are my cheek, left side of nose, left half of my upper lip and some of my left upper teeth. The numbing sensation gets worse when I do the warm compress. Should I be concerned?
