The appearance of adenoids is due to the narrow pharynx of children. When adenoids are enlarged, they need to rely on mouth breathing due to nasal congestion. Long-term mouth breathing will cause the lips to be unable to close on their own, causing the lip muscles to relax. Gradually, the upper lip becomes thicker and upturned, and the upper gums are exposed when smiling. In addition, the airflow from mouth breathing directly impacts the hard palate, which will deform and arch the hard palate. Over time, an adenoid face will be formed.

If a child is found to have adenoids, adenoidectomy should be performed as soon as possible. Today’s adenoidectomy is very mature and is a minimally invasive treatment. After the operation, the child’s nose will be ventilated and the adenoids will The facial appearance can be gradually relieved.
