- Bell’s Palsy is often caused by a viral infection that causes the muscles in the face to lose strength. This can cause facial paralysis, sensation issues and trouble swallowing, blinking and much more. Today, Dr Alison Wu is sharing the progression she’s teaches her patients with Bell’s Palsy to slowly help regain correct sensation and get the facial muscles working again!

Hey im having early signs of ball palsy. I can still smile and operate my weak side a little but its takes a lot of energy, any suggestions on what I should do ??
That's awesome!
What's the best time to do these exercises and how often in a day. Thanks for sharing
I was just diagnosed with Bell's Palsy. I am 66 yrs old and I gotta tell you, this is unnerving (lol no pun intended!) I cannot close the affected eye and get dry eye badly so have had to place gauze taped down and wear an eye patch to keep it secured. I am going to do these exercises and will follow-up with my results as l improve. I got this!! Thank you Dr for providing this awesome video.
this is fantastic! Thank you so much.Mine was bilateral and my one side is still weak 20 years later, but i still am gaining small movement through this.
This is amazing Doc! I can already feel my cheek moving more and eye opening over 15 years with Bells!
16 years old with this wish me luck
I first had mine when I was young like you. It’s good you’re doing this early. Back then I had no clue you could do anything to get it better I wish the doctors would have mentioned it to me
You'll be fine. This will heal in time, sometimes fast or maybe 6 months or more.
Take care of yourself and do the exercises.
Day 1 wish me luck
On my first week almost. No real change.
Hey it’s been a month how’s your face now…healing or healed

Thank you so much for this! Would you possibly be able to tell me whether there's a cutoff length of time, after which recovery/improvement is impossible? I've had Bell's Palsy for 14 years, but I only recently found out that's what it is.
awesome
Please add tabs for the warm-up and exercises so we can jump to those after watching the entire video a few times. Makes it easier to get to the exercises and how-to instructions. Thx!
Thanks a lot are these exercises helpful for facial nerve post surgical injury
Day 3 really helpful exercise thanks x
So glad!
Doc what is the solution for the complicated bells palsy means when i eat may eye tear ,i would not smell and one side is not move up and down this case stayed with me for three year
Thank you for this video It really helps. If I may ask Can you also do another video about exxercises that will help with the muscle around the eyes and lips, due to bells Palsy I still wasn't able to fully close my eyes and my lips would still trembling when I talk. Thank you in advance!
Day 2 of diagnosis. Unable to take steroids due to adverse effects and preexisting conditions.L. Thank you so much for making this easy to understand. I hope to make a full or at least a big recovery.
Ecellent
I literally bit my tongue time after time due to this diagnosis. I speak flat timely. Exercise on mark
Thank you for all this. May I please ask, will this work for Ramsey Hunt Syndrome?
I had nerve and muscle graft on my face. I’m going to try if this will help with the healing process.
Think you
Thank you so much! Appreciate your approach in the video and the coordination of the nerves and muscles.
You're so welcome!

Please answer the following question: which is right is to massage the cheek from the nose and mouth upward to the side of the eye or the other way around from the right side of the face toward the nose and the mouth?
I have this problem from 5 years but i m doing exercises from one montb so little improvement i can see but ...i just want ask it can be fine all face or i have to take therapy again ????? Please answer me
Can some of u guys give updates on how u guys doing I had it for a week so far they gave me steroids and some other meds I think it’s mild tho because I can still blink my eye and close it it’s weak but I can still close it
Thank you for this video. Last May I was hit with Bells on the right side of my face. Doing your exercises has help greatly. The one question I have is when I do any of the exercises on my forehead I hear a cracking sound like my bones are breaking. Is this normal?
I was diagnosed with Bell’s palsy in 2019 and it’s mostly gone, but I still can’t smile. Do you think it could be fixed? It got mostly better from the face exercises they gave me, but I might not have done the mouth ones right. I want my smile back
Thank you doc..i just want to master it i got bells phalsy
Day 1 wish me a great luck 😊
I really like this video, I have had numbness to my upper lip for 5 years now after a needle hitting a nerve during a dental procedure and I would like to fix it. It has caused drooping in the corners of my mouth. I thinks these exercises may he help.
How often to do these exercises and what's the best time of day to do exercises. Thanks Doc
How soon after were diagnosed before we can start these stretches?
I had this 3yrs ago and still get pains from this day as well as having sore ears eyes face.
I just had a parotidectomy surgery. Parotid gland tumor removal. My left side facial nerves are weak and I have very little control over it. Can I do these exercises. Please guide me. Thank you!
Thanks 3 months in
Day 7 for me, how many times do you do these exercises in a day?
I had this from 3days i am. Doing this and i had an acute bells pslys is this recommend for me?
I got Bell's Palsy residual. I had it 2005 most likely until now I still have the paralysis.any suggestion?
i have tried everything,its been almost 6 to 7 years still facing the same problem.
I woke up on 3/10 & realized something was wrong. Immediately went to doc. & diagnosed with Bells Palsy. They put me on steriods and Valtrex for 7 days. It seemed to get worse over the first 3 days. By the 4th day tingling in my face started. Its 13 days now & i was hoping to see improvement. Will try these exercises. Have fatigue, facial, jaw & ear pain.
How many days to finesh treatment for bells phalsy?
Dobrý den mam pul roku necitlivou cast rtu a brady po trhani zubu je to nepříjemné asi uz se toho nezbavím děkuji za odpověď Pospíšilová
Well Bell's palsy recovery is a time-consuming process, I got it in mid of Oct 2023, and in 4-5 months I recovered almost 99%....Dr explained a very useful exercise in the video. Please be patient, consult with your primary Dr and physiotherapist, and give time to your muscles for recovery because it always takes time. Recovery time is different for every person but 1 month to 4 months mostly people can recover.
Hi, im Bruce, im 59. At 9:52 pm June 3rd my vision became blurry followed by double vision, body sweats, excessive vomiting then the right side of my face was paralyzed. June 4th at 11:00am I was rushed to the hospital and by 12:30pm I was diagnosed with Bell's Palsy. Not a stroke thank God. Today is June 18th. I can see straight. I can walk. My left ear is sore and sounds kinda hurt, my right side of my face is still 95% paralyzed but I'm improving every day. From what I've read this can all relapse in 10 years. Let's all keep in contact with our progress.
can we do this from day 1 of facial palsy? My doctor said one exercise for first week. Just let your muscle relax.
I have Bells palsy since 2016, going to see if this is not too late for me. 😮
i had Bell's palsy two years ago, but now one side of my face is crooked again, so I have Bell's palsy again?
is this good to for chubby face exercise mam?
Great video. For the tongue exercises at ~7:15, we can move our jaw, correct? (You do, but I just wanted to confirm.) Thank you for the video!
Yes! Because of the tongue attachments to the bottom of the jaw, your jaw will follow the tongue
Hello Ma´am
I want to know that
Can we recover from 40 year old bell´s Palsey ? is it possible to recover

Day 13. Wish me luck. Especially mentally, parents are fussing about it and making me feel bad and guilty for not recovering quick.
Mentally drainning..
3 weeks..hoping to get a speedy recovery 🙏
hows u
Whenever I was doing Exercise #1, my left side was very loose, and my left side was my weaker side. My right side is the opposite, more muscular and bigger. Should I go to the doctor to check it out or do you all think the exercises should be fine to fix the problem
is it ok to hot compress after the facial exercise?
Day 1 ❤
Okay, the tongue-eye coordination is difficult for me 😂
Day 7 wish me luck 🍀
