As a speech therapist in my day job, we typically do not recommend any mouth exercises for Bells Palsy. What tends to happen with exercise practice is that the normal working side of the face/muscles start to recruit additional fibers to try to compensate for the weakened ones ( like if you're curling a heavy barbell, you might start 'helping' with your back or ab muscles instead of just letting the arms do the work.) Then, once the Bells resolves, you are left with the normal side of your face even 'stronger' and now have to unlearn the abnormal fiber activation. Once you get back approx. 3/4 movement, you can start trying easy/short embouchure work.
Good luck for a speedy recovery.
