It's been said many times that Wolff's law only works in increasing bone density and not a bone's volume.
This is actually the strongest argument against the practice of bonesmashing.
Because it's true,we don't have scientific data suggesting that constant pressure on a bone does anything other than increasing the density a little bit.
Now,there's a case in which a man was kicked by horse in one side of his face.
The man suffered from constant swelling for 21 years before he finally died in 1771.
Looking at his skull though,it seems like 21 years of maintained swelling caused his cheekbone to grow into a different shape and size.

This image shows that if we change the forces acting on a skull even adult bones will remodel themselves.
