Brief Answer:
NO!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

No matter the hairstyle, the shape of the face cannot be altered by this. If this were t happen, the tension, pain and headache will prompt immediate attention for the style to be undone.

In all, the hairstyle can give you slightly different looks but cannot influence the position of the face and various structure on the head.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.

Or position or shape of facial bones?Tilting or moving or leaning your head or face in different angles doesn't change position of any part of your face, entire face, facial features or facial/head bones?
It's also not possible to position a part of your face at a different angle than rest of face by moving or tilting your head? Thanks again.when you tilt your face/head you can't just tilt a part of the face/head you have to tilt the whole face/head, right?Forgot to add to ... when you tilt your face/head you can't just tilt a part of your face/head you have to tilt the whole face/head the same way or angle, right?

Brief Answer:
No movements of the face and head can change the position of structures.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

The structures are fixed and no amount of movement would change this. No matter the position we adopt, nothing would actually change.

I wish you well.

Pressing on side arms of eyeglasses and that in turn pressing on side of face/head doesn't cause any change in position or shape of facial/head bones or flatten/elevate facial/head bones or side of face/head? Pressing on face doesn't cause these changes, right? Thanks.Pressing or pushing on face/head also wouldn't cause these changes?

Can you cause any change in the position or shape of eyebrows by pressing up or in any direction on eyebrows or cause any change in the shape or position of bones (any bony part)under eyebrows by pressing up or in any direction on these bones (pressing up & holding up eyebrows with hands for a brief amount of time)? Thanks.

Of the bones (any part of bone) of the eyebrow area? Thanks again.

Answered by Dr. Ivo Ditah (1 hour later)
Brief Answer:
No!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

This is not possible. You need a violent force to be able to make any change to the structures if the head. No simple painless manipulations can do that.

I wish you well.
