Strange Sensations 4 Months After Facelift. Could These Be Paresthesias?

Carol99
After facelift 4 months ago, I've had areas of numbness in front of and back of ears. Just recently, in an expanded area in front of ears and down jaw, I've started having strange new sensations that sometimes feel like numbness, sometimes like tightness or tingling. Could these feelings be paresthesias and, if so, why are they in an expanded area? They're very uncomfortable and disturbing. Thanks so much for your time.
