Hi,

No. lightly pressing both sides of your face inward with one hand or grabbing very lightly your face with your hand and lightly pressing opposite sides of face, sides of forehead and sides of cheeks will not cause any change in the contours of your face or cause any change in shape or position of facial bones.

Grabbing very lightly face with my hand and lightly pressing opposite sides of face, sides of forehead and sides of cheeks inward or toward the center of face.
I forgot to mention inward or toward center of face. Same answer as above, though?

toward the center of the face or toward nose or center of forehead

Or cause any moving of facial bones (sides of forehead bones and sides of cheekbones) or any part of facial bones inward towards center of face, toward nose or middle of forehead?

Lightly grabbing with my hand just one hand

Brief Answer:
No changes to your face or bones.

Detailed Answer:
I can say with assuredness that grabbing your face very lightly face with your hands and lightly pressing the opposite sides of face, sides of forehead and sides of cheeks inward or toward the center of face will cause absolutely no changes to your face or bones of the face.

I understand that you are asking about this movement toward the center of the face or toward nose or center of your forehead. There will be no change. It will not cause any moving of facial bones (sides of forehead bones and sides of cheekbones) or any part of facial bones inward towards center of face, toward nose or middle of forehead. Lightly grabbing with one hand or both hands - it will not cause any changes.

Lightly grabbing or squeezing opposite sides of face as described above will not cause any changes mentioned above?

Can the situation described above lightly grabbing or squeezing pressing opposite sides of face with one hand etc. cause any slanting of forehead or forehead bones (or any part of forehead or forehead bones) or any slanting of any other facial bones or cause any changes mentioned above?

Brief Answer:
None of these actions will change your face.

Detailed Answer:
The situation you described above of lightly grabbing or squeezing the opposite sides of the face will not cause any changes.

Lightly grabbing or squeezing pressing opposite sides of face with one hand cannot cause any slanting of the forehead or forehead bones (or any part of forehead or forehead bones) or any slanting of any other facial bones or cause any changes.

It is not possible to change the facial features or bones with any of these actions. It would require a fracture, and the bones do not fracture from what you are describing. Also, fractures would cause severe pain, swelling, and discoloration.
