    “cartilage does stop growing. However, cartilage is made of collagen and other fibers that begin to break down as we age.

    The result is drooping. So what appears to be growth is just gravity doing its job. Our noses and our earlobes sag and become larger. Adding to the misconception is what happens to other parts of our face. While our nose might sag, our cheeks and lips actually lose volume, making everything else look comparatively larger.”
