Hi,
A recurrent cancer in buccal mucosa needs to be addressed at the earliest. The face may/may not get changed depending on the extent of surgery. Rest assured that the doctors will try to reconstruct it, but it is less likely to be like normal unaffected cheek. Keep your expectations realistic and focus on relieving yourself of the fatal disease.
