Asked By:tinker766 in Scotland, United Kingdom

For about 5 years now I've noticed some changes to my face, my nose looks huge now before it was average sized, my chin and jaw line look alot bigger, my cheeks look deflated also and my head looks longer and elongated than it use to be. I had tests for acromegaly but came back negative, but my face is just looking more different every year, I look like I'm looking more masculine aswell, I have put a before picture of me aged 41 and a recent picture of me aged 46 Thank You.
