Falling of the eyebrows onto or off of the brow bone and the appearance of horizontal and vertical wrinkles are the classic, and quite frankly, only aging signs that can appear.

Background: The most troubling facial feature in many older males is that of the neck. The development of a neck wattle is bothersome in many ways.
