Keith the facial features don't always get big on older folks. My nose and ears are the same size they've always been, my mom's nose which was a different shape did get a little larger but not her ears. I've seen that happen more in men, and mainly in those who practiced some type of excess, food or alcohol usually. Look at pics of Paul Newman, young and old, and you'll see what I mean. You shouldn't make such blanket statements. I've worked with many vets and have seen the pics of them when they were young and don't see changes you're talking about.
