      Most people stop growing before they reach 25 years old.

      My colleague Pam Trigg says:

      People don’t stop growing our ears and noses carry on growing into old age.

      This depends. There are some people who don’t grow at all from the time they are born. Others continue growing well into their 20s, and as Helen says, some parts of the fleshy parts of the body continue growing throughout life. If we ever live until we’re 200, we’ll all have ears like elephants.
