It is unlikely that a nose piercing would cause Bell’s palsy, even with your history of recurrent Bell’s palsy. However, you should discuss this with your doctor prior to having any procedure or piercing performed. Good luck.

Nose piercing and cosmetic procedures do not commonly result in cranial nerve palsies such as Bell's, and there is no reason to anticipate this. But do let your practitioner be aware of your history and do this under local anesthesia.
