Brief Answer:
No effect on face or bones.

Detailed Answer:
My dear,
Thanks for sending your query to us.
Effects if such strong wind,even in warm weather are confined to superficial layers,mainly skin.The effects do not reach the deeper layers hoti muscles.The effects you feel on muscles are mainly due to contortion and squeezing of muscles by you.These effects do not reach hoti bones.
Any flattening which you feel is very temporary.These winds do not lead to any lengthening or flattening.
I hope I have answered your query fully,any further query in this regard, please do get back to me.

So even in warm or hot weather strong winds blowing against face while walking for 15-20 minutes as described above would not cause any lengthening or flattening of face or facial bones?

wearing eyeglasses on face

Brief Answer:
No flattening of face or bone changes.

Detailed Answer:
My dear,
Bones of body including face are hard,fixed structures.They don't change easily.If external forces are very strong,they break.That happens in accidents and injuries.Bones do not change shape.
Since bone structure doesn't change,no lengthening of face and features occur.
