Why would Wolff’s law not work on facial bones?

I mean if homes remodel based on stress, and smashing your face correctly is a form of stress, why would it not work? I asked something similar to this before and got told it’s cope and then that he is gatekeeping. If you answer can you tell me why exactly or why not?

Wolff’s law works mainly for bone density. The lateral growth of your zygos will be minimal at most. Mark as solution

blunt force trauma is not the same as stress. wolfs law mainly applies to load bearing bones. nobody's stopping you from hammering your zygos tho man go ahead.

I don’t want to do something stupid if it doesn’t even work. By load bearing you mean like that thing that people strap to their legs while they sleep to get taller? Yk the things that pull on their legs I forgot what it’s called

This is not 100% correct as i am simply a teenager new to studies and research but the Law stipulates :
Bones will adapt (change shape, grow in length and density etc) when submitted to mechanical tensions, the tension can be:
Static: constant (ex:the pressure applied on your bones by your muscle mass)
Dynamic: cyclic or intermittent which is more effective.
This change can be mesured in microstrain (an increase of 0,1% of the bone is equal to 1000 microstrains). In absence of any tension, your bones will begin the atrophy mecanism (under 200 microstrains). In between 200 and 1500 microstrains the bones will maintain themselves and over it the process is called hypertrophy ( of the bone tissues).
Now when talking about bonesmashing a person will put around 200 Newtons, to have an approximation of what one hit of hammer could do on a bodypart (for example chin) we have to take in consideration the area in square meters (or cross section area) and the properties of the tissue. 200 Newtons (i’m simplifying highly the operation) can be converted on a surface like the chin to ≈4,5 microstrains. Since the hits are separated by short periods of time they can be added (4,5+4,5…). But all these arguments can be answered by the fact that under an important modification (3500 microstrains caused from a singular source in a singular moment) human tissues will act like elastic materials, so the repeated hits won’t be added one to another. Therefore the hits will have no effects.
