Does Putting Pressure On The Forehead Cause Damage To The Facial Bone?

Posted on Tue, 29 Aug 2017

Question: Does pulling or pressing on skin or the forehead area(made of bone) in any direction and holding it (holding hands in this position on forehead))when getting eyebrows threaded cause any change in position or shape of any part of facial bone (forehead area) above eyebrows or flatten/elevate facial (forehead) bone?

Answered by Dr. salah saad shoman (37 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
No, they can't

Detailed Answer:
Dear Ms, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns.

But there is no need to worry as holding, pulling and applying hand pressure on forehead area is not enough to move or flatten the facial bones...

For this to happen an intensive impact force must be applied to the bony area..

I hope I answered your question.
Regards

Is it possible to rotate your chin or cause any change in position or shape of chin with hands?

Answered by Dr. salah saad shoman (6 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Probably not

Detailed Answer:
Dear Ms, holding or pressuring the chin area is not likely to cause any damage except by special manoeuvres such as those of extreme fighters.. and if such damage occurs then probably it is intended.

I hope you find this helpful.

Itching vigorously/harshly on skin on face between eyebrows doesn't cause any change in position or shape of bone or any part of bone underneath? Or flatten/elevate facial bone? Thinking it's a paranoid thought. Thanks.
