Depends: This depends on which facial muscles and nerves were affected, and if the nerves were affected, where along the pathway of the nerve was lesioned. Also, how and when the person began rehabilitative exercises post stroke.

Facial muscles are: More reliably impaired by peripheral vii nerve lesions, particularly the temporal ; zygomatic branches.
