Can facial palsy still be cured after 20 years?

Facial palsy for 20 years still has symptoms of facial muscle weakness that cannot be cured and are sequelae of facial palsy.1. Facial palsy is a very common clinical condition and most patients can recover after timely treatment.2. Patients with idiopathic facial nerve palsy can improve within 2-4 weeks of onset and recover completely in about 3-4 months. In patients with complete facial muscle paralysis, even without any treatment, about 70% of patients recover completely after 6 months of onset.3. If a patient’s facial muscle weakness and facial paralysis have lasted for 20 years, the patient is unlikely to recover. This condition may be related to the fact that the patient had a relatively heavy facial nerve injury at that time or that the treatment was not timely.
