Numbness in right side of face. Will this go away on its own?

Kittycat50
Hi! I had buccal fat removal nine months ago, and just today I am feeling some faint numbness/weakness in the right side of my face. I’m really freaking out because I didn’t think this could happen so far out post op. Is it possible this isn’t related, or if it is, why is it so delayed and will it go away on its own? Thank you
