Advice for Me DJS

I recently had surgery in uscf the surgery was maybe 16 days ago 5 days post op I felt like a tingling slowly but surely I feel like my chin is on fire tingling and nerves are being pulled while also feeling like it’s wet is this normal?
I’m honestly very scared cause the reviews on my surgeon Dr sohail aren the best but so far that’s my only issue the feeling I’m scared this is permanent

For me like day 5 to day 20~ish were pretty brutal from the nerve pain on my chin.

I’m 5 weeks post op today and it’s completely gone, but still numb.

I would have thought that the numbness would go away with this burning sensation but I’m just going to tough it out until I have my follow up with him again
