Has your appearance changed a great deal as you've aged?

I went to a few events recently and saw people I had not seen for maybe 4-10 years. Many people were unrecognizable- not saying they looked bad just dramatically different. A few looked pretty much the same. Some people look a lot more like one of their parents as they have aged.
I was told I had not changed at all by someone I had not seen for about 4 years. (Thanks?) No one seemed to have trouble recognizing dh or myself immediately.

I don't think it has much. People always recognize me. But I do get told now that I look so much like my mom whereas when I was little people always said I looked like my dad.2

no.
I'm a cartoon; we don't age.7 -
Yes... wrinkle wrinkles and more wrinkles2

People keep telling me I don't age much, it's actually gotten annoying. I'm closer to 40 than 20 and every time I open the door for deliveries I'm asked if my "Mum or Da" are at home. I'd dye my hair white if I hadn't had a giant white streak since I was 17.5

Yup I've gotten older looking over the years, luckily the older I get the less I care about it

Well, I have definitely aged! I do not look like I did when I was eight if I multiply it by ten. I agree with bojack5's comment. Keeping healthy and fit is more important than superficial appearances.

My face is rounder but I've been blessed with good genetics when it comes to aging. Except grey hair, I dye that shiz on the regular.

I don’t think my face has changed too much in the last decade or so. Maybe other people see it more than I do? I don’t know. These photos are 7.5 years apart:

The school I attended only had 3 girls in the boarding house where we were the constant students and not exchange Asian sister school boarders who were coloured ( my sister and I + her bff). At school proper, there were only my sister and I who were Islanders, 3 Sri Lankans ( 2 were sisters) and my sister's bff the Filipino/American. In the sea of 96% blondes, they'd pretty much peg us all upon entry, no matter if Mother time has been kind or not.
The blondes today are more difficult to distinguish, most especially if they'd chosen a more sun worshipper & au naturel life. It's when they're with their daughters that makes discerning their identities easy.1 -
Really? I got woo'd? Haters. 10

Yes, I have put on weight. I've gained 30 lbs in the three years since I turned 40, which is why I'm here on MFP.4

In the spirit of before and after, I had to go into vintage files to find an old pic. The old pic is a pic taken before Christmas Eve Mass, the latter is very recent.

Approaching reunion in the Southern Hemisphere for me will be in the year 2020, so ... Yes. I've not entirely been in contact with my whole year but for the few who'd also migrated here to the US, now married to Europeans whose small family businesses is where they'd met whilst holidaying.
It'll be quick for any of my schoolmates to spot me, for the majority look very different.
ETA: My recent pic is of me with my God-child who was visiting over Father's Day weekend.4 -

Aging sucks. I hate it. The minute someone tell you that you that look good for your age... Ugh. At least there are interventions to slow the inevitable.4

I was getting these type of comments when I was at the ripe “old” age of 29. Usually from teenagers and early 20 year olds who think anything over 25 is “old” *eyeroll*. Don’t sweat it.
I think I look BETTER with some age. I was a UGLY a**** awkward looking teenager lmao. My 20’s were a little dodgy as well. I’m not bombshell now or anything, but I definitely out grew my awkward phase. I think once I drop some more weight I might even find myself a boyfriend!
