Will I get Bell’s Palsy on both sides of my face?

It is certainly possible to get Bilateral Bell’s Palsy, as I myself experienced, however it is extremely rare and occurs only in about 1% or less of cases.

If this happens gradually (with myself it was over 3 or 4 days after experiencing the normal Unilateral Bell’s Palsy) it is very important to go back to your doctor and inform them.

The reason for this is that there are various other conditions that can cause Bilateral Bell’s Palsy and the doctor AND YOU will want to make sure that you are being treated for the correct condition.

It is likely if you do experience Bilateral Bell’s Palsy that you will be admitted to a hospital where they can do more extensive tests upon you to rule out the other possible conditions and confirm that it is Bell’s Palsy that you have.
