I don’t know exactly why face drooping occurs in a stroke, but it can happen during a specific migraine: hemiplegic migraine- in which the migraine effects the motor center of the brain and causes one side of the face to droop, along with temporary paralysis of one side of the body, which is also a stroke symptom.
