Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Temporalis muscle atrophy is seen after cranial surgeries. Some muscle improvement may be seen by physiotherapy and you should consult your neurologist and a physiotherapist regarding this. The numbness can be due to nerve injury and this is something you may have to live with. However, nerve conduction tests can be done to see if some function is intact and if there is intact nerve, then with time and vitamin supplementation, things may improve. Take care!
