it can be due to nerve injury. do visit your doctor where you got it extracted and from next time onwards do get wisdom tooth removed by oral and maxillofacial surgeon to get better treatment outcome as they specialise in wisdom tooth extraction without causing damage to the nerve.

That is parasthesia of lip which is one of the complication of surgical extraction of wisdom tooth. This is a reversible process. You do visit your dentist and get the sutures removed and discuss about the numbness too.
