What can cause facial paralysis?

Any injury to the face or medical condition that affects the nerves can cause facial paralysis. These include:

  • Lyme disease
  • Bell’s palsy
  • Facial surgery
  • Stroke
  • Trauma to the face
  • Chemotherapy medications
  • Autoimmune diseases

The exact cause of facial paralysis is generally unimportant. If the face has been paralyzed for several months and doctors do not expect a natural recovery, surgery is often recommended.
