You may want to go back to see the doctor or another doctor.
They can tell you best if there were any nerve damage, etc.
It's difficult to do online. Someone needs to examine you.

Depends...sounds like he may have cut a nerve that goes to your cheek. The nerves should regrow but sometimes it takes up to a year.

Apparently it IS possible because it happened to you. I would definitely call that doctor and tell him the problem. He'll need to find out what is causing this.
