First.
It’s not bone remodeling:
Adult chin bone has NO growth plates and it cannot grow outward from a single trauma.
What is it then?:
Scar tissue / organized hematoma / adaptive tissue from the trauma. Dense collagen forms during healing and can feel rock-hard.
This can last years or even a lifetime.
So, good?, if you are willing to risk not feeling anything in whatever area you're hitting due to nerve damage.
If your jaw/chin muscles or fascia are under tension or mild daily load, they can thicken slightly.
This gives a firmer feel but is still soft tissue, not bone. Scar tissue usually feels firm but slightly irregular, may be tethered to skin, and is painless.
Bone would be rigid, immovable, and not change with facial expression.
