How is it considered a full recovery for facial paralysis?

Patient's question:

My aunt's younger brother had a complete facial paralysis last summer. He went to a hospital for thread lifting treatment and had to go every week. Now he doesn't need to go anymore, but I noticed that when he smiles, his mouth is still slightly. I want to ask how a facial paralysis can be completely healed?

Doctor's answer:

Based on the current situation, the main consideration is facial nerve palsy, also known as Bell's palsy, which may be related to viral infections, physical and chemical factors, or severe exposure to cold. This can lead to facial paralysis, recurring symptoms such as crooked mouth and eyes, and excessive drooling. The condition tends to recur frequently, causing some interference to the body. Typically, acupuncture, massage, physical therapy, and cold compresses are recommended. In most cases, the condition can be cured.
