Preston Brust was first diagnosed with Bell's palsy in December 2009, and had a rare reoccurrence in December 2021.

"When [Bieber] put out his video, I was like, 'Man, I need to be someone people can look to and say, 'Hey, he's getting through it.' That's what this is all about for me now," he says. somehow I forget about it while I'm out there." "I'm surrounded by so many great people," he says. Just walk away and blow it off and don't let it win that day.'" That's not an easy thing to do." "I was like, 'Are you kidding me?' I remember waking up my wife [Kristen] and telling her Bell's had hit me again. "But Chris had my back, and I didn't want to stop working. Though its cause still remains unclear to doctors, Bell's can be triggered by factors such as pregnancy and stress. We know this is going to be a long journey, so pack your bags — and let's roll, let's do this.'" Scott Stephan of the Facial Nerve Disorders Program at Vanderbilt Bill Wilkerson Center.
