Aging Changes in the Skin |

Dr. Judith Crowell, Dermatologist with Baptist Health South Florida, explains when we are young we have more of a triangular shape to our face, and as we get older, we start getting broader, especially on the lower face.

She says this happens because we start getting notches in the chin area, and the upper lip gets thicker as compared to the lower lip.
