4 minutes for the person. Face exercises after paralysis Bella.

Paralysis Bella is one of violations of functions of a facial nerve when mimic muscles are paralyzed and persons do not move, as a rule, on the one hand.

The person completely loses expression and the movement. The disease develops promptly, arises against the background of infectious process, strong overcooling of the person on the one hand, against the background of such diseases as meningitis, otitis, parotitis, injuries, internal bleedings, mistakes of stomatologists and so on. Usually passes independently within 1-8 weeks. At elderly people longer process of restoration is possible.

The famous people had paralysis Bella:
- French writer of a century before last Guy de Maupassant

The person having paralysis of a facial nerve has the following symptoms:
