A member asked:
Is it possible to head change its shape at age of 18?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually not: The skull does not ordinarily change its shape at age 18, so the head seldom changes shape. The soft tissue of the head (muscles, fat, etc.) may change, of course. The disease acromegaly can cause change in the shape of the skull.
