I have wrinkly earlobes

I don't even really have earlobes at all (that attached sort) and yet they have wrinkled. At 55 my earlobes are aged.

Contemplating an earlobe lift

What other weirdly specific bits are going to collapse next??

I don't think I've ever looked closely enough at anyone's earlobes to notice if they're wrinkly or not. My DM'S ears are quite stretched due to a life of heavy earings. I'll have to investigate any wrinkles next time I see her.

The backs of my hands though are fit for a 120 year old rather than my late 50s

Yes! I have distinct (matching) creases in both ear lobes. No muscle there so not like frown/smile lines and I have never tanned my ears so can only think it's a loss of collagen with ageing? I am seeing a dermatologist soon (not about this, a research study for money!) and plan to ask about this. I'm even thinking of getting my ears pierced in my mid-60s so I can wear something to cover them up.

@Fruitloopcowabunga diagonal earlobe creases (that weren't always there) can sometimes be linked to cardiovascular disease so make sure you get a cholesterol and blood pressure check for yourself too.

I’ve noticed that a colleague who wears earrings 24/7 has very wrinkly earlobes, so I always remove mine at night now.

Same op! I'm also a similar age, out of all the aging body parts I have I'm finding the lobes one of the most obvious 🙈 maybe earlobe Botox should be a thing.....
