So, we asked experts to fact-check.. Dr Rinky Kapoor, consultant dermatologist, cosmetic dermatologist and dermato-surgeon at The Esthetic Clinics, denied the claim and said that while it may apply to some due to their facial features, it may not be the same for everyone. “One needs to understand that every face has a unique buildup and is often different in size or facial features. The idea that all these parts are the same size is a myth,” said Dr Kapoor.. According to the expert, your facial features are unique and shaped by genetics, age, and environmental factors..

For instance, the ears develop from six distinct embryonic hillocks, while the forehead is shaped by growth of the cranial bones. “The chin is unique to humans, shaped by mandibular development, and the mouth adapts to functional needs like speech and eating.
