Bell's Palsy Recovery: An Overview
The prognosis for individuals with
Bell's palsy is generally very good. The extent of nerve damage determines the extent of recovery time. Generally, improvement is gradual, but recovery times vary.
Bell's Palsy Recovery Time
With or without treatment, most individuals begin to get better within 2 weeks after the initial onset of
symptoms of Bell's palsy. The complete recovery time for most people with Bell's palsy ranges from 3 to 6 months. For some people, however, recovery time may be longer.
In a few cases, the Bell's palsy symptoms may never completely disappear. In rare cases, a person can have a recurrence of Bell's palsy, either on the same or the opposite side of the face.
