Can facial features change depending on your social-economic status?

Question

what i mean is i've realized that people who were born and raised in privileged levels of society have more harmonious facial features than people who were born in less privileged ones.
I'm not talking about beauty per se but rather a harmony in facial features that is almost distinctive to upper economical status.

Answer 1

I think our faces ultimately reflect the experiences we have.
I can't back this up with scientific evidence, but if you look at people from different economic classes, there are vastly different expressions, lines and creases. There used to be a saying that "You get the face you deserve by age 50", but I think it has more to do with suffering and worry, which are usually more of an issue for the poor than the wealthier people.
Poor people have generally fewer resources and people to help them out when things need doing, and wealthier people can also pay people to do their grunt work, as well as paying for more cosmetic treatments including plastic surgery.
Great Question!
Good luck.

Answer 2

In agreement and on the contrary side of Amber's answer, have you ever looked in the face of the indigent and downtrodden? Their cheekbones seem more prominent from having fewer or no teeth. Their skin is more wrinkled and lacks color due to poor nutrition. Their hair lacks luster for the same reason. Most profound is the eyes.....sometimes empty, sometimes disconnected and void, sometimes reaching out, always full of pain. If a poor person was dressed in an evening gown or tuxedo, wouldn't you still know that person was poor? Wouldn't they always carry their life on their face?
