Facial Paralysis
The Standard in Facial Nerve Paralysis Treatment
Bareuljung Korean Medicine Hospital
Bell’s palsy is a nerve disorder that causes
sudden paralysis of facial muscles,
usually due to impaired function
of the 7th cranial nerve.
It often results in facial asymmetry
and weakness around the eyes or mouth,
and in severe cases, difficulty
eating or speaking.
Facial Paralysis
Accurate Diagnosis Matters
Key Symptoms by Affected Area
- 1 Unable to wrinkle the forehead or raise the eyebrows
- 2 Difficulty blinking · Watery or dry eyes · Eye twitching
Blurred vision · Pseudo-strabismus - 3 Ear or post-auricular pain · Sound sensitivity (hyperacusis)
- 4 Cannot puff cheeks · Facial muscle twitching
- 5 Mouth asymmetry · Slurred speech · Taste loss
Tongue numbness · Leakage while eating or brushing
Bell’s palsy can result from viral infection, fatigue, stress, or lowered immunity.
In most cases, stress and immune weakness are the main triggers.
Different Types of Facial Paralysis
Two types - Peripheral & Central.
Accurate diagnosis defines the right treatment path.
Peripheral Type
Start treatment immediately
after onset.
Central Type
Accurate diagnosis first

Facial Paralysis,
Why Early Intensive Treatment Matters
Once symptoms appear, intensive treatment should begin early,
focusing on muscle recovery and the prevention of aftereffects.
Early Treatment Window
0–3 Weeks
Intensive care within 3 weeks
- higher chance of recovery
Facial Nerve Dormant Phase
4–12 Weeks- Recovery rate drops below 2% after 12 weeks
- risk of sequelae increases sharply
Recurrence Risk Period
Within 10 Years- Average recurrence rate: 10%
- 200× higher than normal
5 Stages of
Facial Nerve Damage
Facial nerve injury has five stages -
from mild weakness to complete paralysis.
A key guide for precise assessment
and personalized treatment.
Stage 1: Stylomastoid Foramen Injury
Limited facial muscle movement - Inability to open or close the eye
- Loss of forehead wrinkles
- Drooling while eating
Stage 2: Chorda Tympani Nerve Injury
- Coated sensation on the tongue
- Loss of taste on the affected side
- Imbalance in salivary secretion
Stage 3: Nerve to Stapedius Muscle Injury
- Hyperacusis
- Tinnitus with hearing loss
- Pain around or behind the ear
Stage 4: Geniculate Ganglion Injury
- Decreased tear secretion
- Dizziness
- Balance disturbance
Stage 5: Intratemporal Lesion Injury
- Similar to central-type symptoms
From Start to Finish of Facial Paralysis Treatment
Bareuljung KM Hospital
The severity of facial nerve damage determines the degree of symptoms,
and beginning proper treatment at an early stage is key to recovery.
Accurate assessment of nerve damage allows prognosis prediction
and guides individualized treatment planning.
Careful observation and understanding of each recovery stage
form the foundation of effective Facial Paralysis treatment.
6 Stages of
Facial Muscle Damage
Facial muscles are deeply connected to the facial nerve.
In Facial Paralysis, nerve injury causes
progressive muscle changes,
and understanding this process is key
to effective and personalized recovery.
| Damage Stage |
At Rest | During Movement |
|---|---|---|
| HB grade 1
(Normal) |
 Symmetrical
|
 Able to close
eyes normally |
| HB grade 2 |
Symmetrical
|
 Very mild asymmetry
visible only on close observation or by the patient’s own perception. |
| HB grade 3 |
Symmetrical
|
 Facial asymmetry
detectable upon professional evaluation. |
| HB grade 4 |
Symmetrical
|
 Facial asymmetry clearly
visible to the naked eye. |
| HB grade 5 |
 Asymmetrical
|
 Subtle facial muscle response
|
| HB grade 6 |
 Asymmetrical
|
 No facial muscle response,
except eyelids. |
The Key to Treating Damaged Facial Muscles
Facial muscle damage causes visible expression changes and daily discomfort.
Since it progresses by stages, early management is crucial for faster, fuller recovery.
