Diet and environmental aspects do have an effect on things like aging and gene expression.

You could go prematurely grey or bald and end up looking quite different to your identical twin if your QoL standard varies a lot.

Its not entirely a non-factor.

Okay, but is the fundamental shape and structure of your face changing? Sure if you gain weight you may gain weight on your face and vice versa, but the way you are raised isn't going to change how far apart your eyes are or how long your nose is.
