Is it possible that your chin and jaw grow late in life?

Not unless: Not unless you have a condition called acromegaly with excessive growth hormone to a benign pituitary adenoma. Other features include enlargement of the head, hands, feet, tongue, and thorax and changes in facial features, including frontal bossing, a widened nasal ridge, in addition to the enlarged jaw. See your MD for evaluation. To treat the jaw problem for cosmesis, see oral surgeon.
