In cases of Bell's palsy, the forehead is typically the first part of the face to recover. This is because the muscles of the forehead are often more resilient and may receive some innervation from the opposite side of the brain. Recovery usually progresses downward, with the eyes and mouth following as the condition improves. Overall, the timeline for recovery can vary among individuals.

Shingles can cause Bell's Palsy indirectly. The herpes zoster virus sometimes breaks out into shingles.

This inflammation, not the shingles, is what causes Bell's Palsy. When shingles and Bell's Palsy are interrelated like this, it is called Ramsey-Hunt Syndrome.
