It does vary alot, @PatientD has posted about advice to help with swelling, here’s a link:

Numbness can take a long time to go from around the wound & jaw area- mine improved gradually over months, I still have a couple of places which are numb, I’ll take that over pain! You can try stimulating the nerves in the numb areas with things like stroking with a feather etc.
