Not too much: The good news is that the facial nerve can repair itself from injury much of the time. The bad news is that it does so at its own pace, and at this point there have not been any treatments definitively shown to speed up nerve healing. Obviously it's also important to identify and address the initial cause of the facial nerve injury, which i'm assuming has been done.
