A member asked:
Got a black eye and cheek, top lip and side of nose is numb. how long will the numbing last? it's been 9 days.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Black eye: That numbness is due to trauma to the sensory nerve under your eye. Nerves grow back at about 1 mm per day. So it can take months for the numbness to go away. In some instances it will not go away if the nerve is damaged severely.
