  • Hi Wopsan and welcome to the forum.

    My face, ear, neck etc were all numb for several months after my surgery.  I did gradually start to regain feeling in some of the side of my face and forehead but my ear, neck and part of my jaw are still numb.  I had surgery in June 2018.

  • Hi it will ease week after week it's just the nerves ends healing 

  • It will ease with time Wopsan, once the radiotherapy is finished and no broken skin you can start using a skin conditioner/lotion. I used to use Bio-oil as this will help soften the skin.
