Right side of my top lip and surrounding areas weak after Buccal fat pad removal. Is that nerve damage? (photos)

I had a buccal fat pad removal 21 days ago and I had loads more swelling on the right side than the left. I think there’s a pinched nerve from the swelling on the right side affecting my top lip and surrounding areas. It isn’t very extreme, it isn’t very obvious I imagine. But I can tell when I speak and look in the mirror or when I try to lick the right side of my top lip. Is this normal? Will it go back to normal?
