Question
My child has an adenoid facies and is now 7 years old, having just completed an adenoid and tonsil removal surgery. Can the adenoid facies be restored?
Answer
The so-called adenoid facies is caused by the enlargement of the adenoids, leading to facial bone development disorders, resulting in a long jaw, high palate, crooked teeth, protruding upper incisors, thick lips, and a lack of expression. Once this type of face is formed, it is difficult to restore. If the condition is not too severe, it is recommended to take your child to see a doctor as soon as possible and follow the doctor’s advice for treatment.
