Selected answer:making parts of the face thicker
Explanation:
you can encounter such events in diseases as mucopolysaccharidoses. Some parts of the face become thicker, and some more prominent than usually. It is especially well seen with lips, nose, tongue, superciliary arches, more prominent and "bushy" eyebrows. The skin itself gets thicker.
