Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The numbness can be because of the pressure over thething to be nerve by the swelling or fractured bone. The black eye is also because of the bleeding in the soft tissues secondary to trauma. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral and maxillofacial surgeon and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take a nerve regenerating drugs like vitamin B6 and B12.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
