Bonesmashing — what it actually is and what it does
Bonesmashing is basically the idea of repeatedly hitting or applying heavy impact to facial bones (usually the jaw, cheekbones, or brow area) in an attempt to stimulate bone remodeling and get more prominent bone structure.
The theory you see is usually something like: microtrauma → healing response → thicker/denser bone → better facial definition. People especially talk about it for getting a stronger mandible, higher cheekbones, or a more “masculine” midface.
The problem is that your face doesnt remodel in a controlled way just because you hit it. Bone remodeling is a real biological process, but deliberately causing trauma doesn’t mean the new bone will form in the exact shape you re trying to achieve. A lot of what people interpret as “gains” can also just be swelling, inflammation, or temporary tissue changes.
Repeated impacts can cause actual fractures, nerve damage, dental problems, TMJ issues, scarring, and uneven healing. And if a fracture heals improperly, you can end up with asymmetry instead of the aesthetic improvement you were aiming for.
Short:
They may grow but asymmetrical, not how you want or just swell and not do anything.
