Hello. I have been through your question and understand your concern.
The sensation of the lips area are due to trigeminal nerve, which takes origin in the pons cerebri, a cerebral structure above the spinal medulla. It might be transitory, but if it is associated with toungue numbness as well, you should have a neurological consult.
Hope this helps.
