You should get the device checked by visiting an authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple Store next to your place.

Use this link to find one:

Apple - Find Locations


Or check this Apple page for more info, if you choose to send it to Apple:

Apple - Support - iPhone Repair and Service

Did you use your computer to set your phone back to factory settings, without using the latest backup and test FaceID after that ?

Restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to factory settings


If you still can't enroll your face or unlock your device with Face ID, take your device to an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider, or contact Apple Support about your iPhone.

I think this issue is most definitely caused by the update. I spoke to an Apple representative today and was told to take my phone into an Apple store for repair, but she admitted that this is an issue they are aware of and suggested that I check back to see if a software update or repair program will fix it for free.

i think I’ll wait a few weeks to see if that happens before I shell out $$$ to have it fixed.
