I have noticed alot of photos of my male relatives young and old, and now that they are old their temple regions (above ear and near eyes) have gotten wider a bit. Basically there faces look more mature and older. Is this widening process possible. And non of them are bald, so it can't be because of baldness. They still have all the hair they had in their 20's still in their 40's. So can the skull change dimension as we age to give a slightly different and more mature look?

By adulthood, the skull has completed nearly all of its growth. What you observe is indeed a receding hairline, which is common even without baldness. Graying of the hair produces a similar visual effect.
