The answer is...it varies depending on the individual. I wish I could give yo a cut and dried answer but Bell's palsy isn't totally understood yet. I had a girlfriend who developed it and it lasted roughly 8 weeks for her, but it can range from a few days to roughly 6 months according to what her doctor said. My advice... Relax. Stress can prolong it. Hope this helped a little. Good Luck.

From what I was reading on the net, it usually goes away by itself.70-85% recover within 2-3 months.Those at risk of a slower recovery or not recovering at all are often older people. Hope this helps and you recover soon.

It can be permanent, although it usually resolves in less than 3 months. Have you received any medical care for it? Check out the site below.

Normal range is one to two months. However severe cases can lost longer. Syptoms lasting longer than a year most likely won't resolve.
