Default does jiu jitsu change your face?

i recently ran into a couple girls i hadnt seen for a while and they both told me that my face had changed. they said my face looked like it had gotten harder and more defined since they had last seen me. im not really sure what that means, but i do know that ive been having my jaw, neck, and face grinded by shoulders and elbows day in and day out in jiu jitsu and my ears are starting to get fucked up as well. my question is does this constant grinding actually change the appearance of your face? does it make your face look "harder" or more defined ?? im not even sure i understood what these girls meant.

If you've lost weight one of the first places to see it is in the face. I don't know about the grinding though.

You probably lost weight and your neck muscles probably got larger.

Yes, take it from a woman. They were definitely flirting with you. You should have asked them to feel your bicep or something at that point.

Like Jared says, men tend to get more facial definition and a broader neck when they do lots of grappling. Yet another sales point for BJJ!
