Hello,

Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

I read carefully your query.

Yes, Botox injection can be helpful in Bell's Palsy.
The injection of Botox causes muscle paralyses in the injection area.Since Bell's Palsy causes a temporary paralysis of the muscles in one side of the face, the face becomes asymmetric.
Botox injection can be used in the normal side of face (non paralyzed side ) to provide a more symmetrical appearance of the face.

You should consult a plastic surgeon and consult this option treatment with him.

Hope it helps.
Let me know if you have any other question or doubts to clarify.I will be happy to help.

Kind regards,
Dr.Rovena Murati

Detailed Answer:
Hello again.

In Bell's Palsy,botox injection can be used in the affected side or in the healthy side,depending on the symptoms and on what defect is being corrected.
Botox injections can be used in the affected side of face to relax any muscle spasm or to reduce muscle contractions.

If you have a minor droop in one side of your face ,botox injection on the other side of face can give a symmetrical appearance of face.

I would suggest to consult a plastic surgeon and discuss the treatment options and if botox injection is necessary or not.

Hope it helps.
Take care.
