Swollen face - what could it be?

Hey there

So, just like the title says—my face looks swollen, but only on the right side. My left side feels totally normal, but the right side looks enlarged, specifically right in that area where the masseter muscle is... I feel like this has been popping up ever since I was dealing with those wisdom tooth issues, but over the last year or two, it’s become a constant thing. It’s probably most noticeable in photos, if that makes sense...

Does anyone happen to know why this might be happening, or if there's actually a way to fix it?

As the title suggests, my face looks swollen, but only on the right side. My left side looks perfectly normal, but the right side—specifically around the masseter muscle area—is noticeably enlarged. This has been popping up ever since I dealt with wisdom tooth issues, but over the last year or two, it’s become a constant thing. It's most obvious when looking at photos.

Does the swelling get worse after you eat? Like, does it subside once you're done? I'm asking because it could potentially be an issue with your salivary glands...😕

It’s just been feeling totally numb all this time—not that anything actually hurts or anything, it’s just... sort of nothingness

Under the jawline, right?

Take a look at this, but don't let it freak you out—it’s really nothing to worry about.
