The recovery process for facial paralysis requires patience, and there is a scientific reason for this.
Nerve fibers grow slowly, at a rate of no more than 1 millimeter per day.
This delicate process of regeneration is essential for regaining connection with your facial muscles. No matter how much you try to optimize the recovery process, the laws of nature will not allow your facial nerve to regenerate any faster than that.
Which is why in severe facial palsy cases recovery can take several months before you see any signs of improvements.
It simply takes time.
There is not magic, and there is no over-night solution.
Time, proper nutrition, plenty of rest - this is the ultimate recipe for the most optimal recovery.
Be patient.
If your facial palsy happened a long time ago, and you feel that your recovery was not complete, in most cases, it is not the paralysis or unrecovered nerve fibers, it is complications that manifested as a result of a long recovery process.
Our clinic specialises specifically in treating these long-term complications. We assist you on your journey by providing vast and free knowledge in our Bell's Palsy Knowledge Base, and through individually-composed recovery programs, available in-clinic and online.
