Patient's question:
My child has adenoid face, now 7 years old, and has just undergone adenoid and tonsil removal surgery. Can adenoid face be restored?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the so-called adenoid face refers to a facial appearance caused by adenoid hypertrophy leading to impaired facial bone development, elongated jaw bones, high-arched palates, misaligned teeth, prominent upper incisors, thick lips, and a lack of expression. It can also be referred to as an "idiopathic face." Once it forms, it is difficult to reverse. If it is not yet severe, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the doctor's advice for treatment.
