Actually you can have a buff face, depending on your diet the major muscles in your jaw can grow or shrink, your skull actually changes over time to accommodate these muscles. So you can have strong muscles in your face but they won’t flex the same way the muscles in your arm do, they will always be perportionate to your skull shape. You can learn more by looking at prehistoric and pre-homosapien skulls, which often have raised edges for anchoring these muscles.
