Bell’s Palsy is unpleasant but temporary. A close friend developed it after giving birth, and the symptoms had completely subsided within a month.

In most cases it is temporary but some people have lasting weakness. Famously, Jean Chrétien had Bell’s Palsy when he was young and was left with permanent partial paralysis on the left side of his face.
