The general shape of the face depends on the bones. The basic pattern of human facial skeleton development is innate and cannot be changed. Unless you consider plastic surgery. Generally, the development of the skull will be completely finalized at the age of 16 to 18.
Can it be changed:
Describes that the growth of bones is basically unaffected by external forces, except when they are very young.
Generally speaking, it is difficult to change the basic stereotype of 18 years old, but it is possible to make it muscular through exercise, but it needs to be persisted all the time, otherwise it will return to its original shape.
The skull consists of 23 bones of different sizes and shapes, which are divided into two parts: skull and facial skull. Except hyoid bone is free, mandible and temporal bone form joints, the rest are closely connected by suture, cartilage or bone combination, forming the bone foundation of cranial cavity and face, thus containing and protecting brain and sensory organs and forming the initial part of digestive and respiratory system.
skull
It consists of 8 bones, including paired temporal bone and parietal bone, unpaired frontal bone, ethmoid bone, sphenoid bone and occipital bone. They surround the cranial cavity. The top of the cranial cavity is a dome-shaped skull cover, which consists of frontal bone, occipital bone and parietal bone. The base of cranial cavity consists of sphenoid bone, occipital bone, temporal bone, frontal bone and ethmoid bone. Only a small part of ethmoid bone participates in the skull, and the rest constitutes the facial skull.
Facial skull
It consists of 15 bones, including pairs of maxilla, cheekbone, lacrimal gland bone, nasal bone, palatal bone and inferior turbinate bone, as well as single vomerous bone, mandible and hyoid bone. The face is connected with the skeleton of the skull, forming the skeleton frame of the orbit, nasal cavity and oral cavity. The temporal bone of the skull and the mandible of the facial skull constitute the only movable joint in the skull connection, namely the temporomandibular joint.
It is medically believed that the appearance of a person's head and face is directly related to the facial skull. Facial plastic surgery is to transform bones by scraping bones, thus changing a person's macro appearance.
