Look, Ishmael is like, 22-24 years, and Chico was around 13 in Peace Walker, and then he was in the copper with Kaz, BB and Paz/Pacifica/dat bithc. Who says that he went through drastically facial surgery, and because of that he was wearing Bandages. I also thought that he would spend that time watching BB as a duty for ratting out MSF to XOF.

Another theory is that Zero is actually the Snake we've seen in the trailer. Ishmael is actually BB  (not solidus nor liquid--who is Eli-- because of the age, although Solidus looks quite older than the other ones, is because of the genetic engineering he went through.) and maybe we play as Zero(check the part where BB shoots the miner children, and he has a scar in his left eye, like Zero). Its the least probable to me.

The other one is that all the story in MGS: V is actually a dream and Ishmael is kinda the subconscious of BB, and just like Ocelot says to big Boss in the extended trailer: "Now go, and let the legend come back to life", and upon completing it you awake, and happens all over again. Maybe its like the G&G game, where you have to play twice all the game to beat it. Or maybe not. Maybe there's another story that will show up after completing the "dream sequence". I mean, Hideo Kojima is insane, look at the duration of MGS4. but.... paz was 16, and chico was stated to be close to paz's age.... so 13 wouldn't be my guess..... but i think he would be able to grow up on 22 in that time.
