After having bell's palsy for a few months, my face has regained most movement but now have face tightening that hasn't gone away. permanent?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bell's palsy: No. Function will continue to improve for several more months. Corticosteroids and anti-viral medication are often prescribed at initial signs of weakness. Facial exercises, massaging the facial muscles and opening and closing the eye lid are helpful. Take extra care with oral hygiene as food can pool on the affected side. Eye drops to lubricate the eye and a wear a patch at night to protect it.
