Question
How long does it take for facial paralysis to stabilize?
Answer
Facial paralysis, often resulting from damage to the facial nerve, can cause many troubles and distress in daily life and work. Common treatments for facial nerve palsy include acupuncture, physical therapy, and massage to assist in treatment. Regular functional exercises are also important. The time for recovery varies from person to person; some may recover within a few weeks, while others might need up to a year or even longer, and may leave varying degrees of sequelae.
