Trigeminal neuroma: Yes. The trigeminal nerve can heal and sensation will improve over time. Because the tumor is attached to the nerve (trigeminal neurinoma) there is always some numbness after surgery. There may be weakness in chewing muscles too. The blink reflex may be diminished and it is important to keep the cornea protected and lubricated. Repeat MRI studies are required to monitor for recurrence too.

Not very likely: Once damaged, rare nerves grow back and the radiation will scar the nerve as well.
