Glandular facies is mainly treated by surgery, and different surgeries are selected according to the different conditions. If the condition is accompanied by adenoid hypertrophy, it is recommended to do adenoidectomy to avoid further deterioration of the condition, which may affect the treatment, and commonly used is low temperature plasma surgery.
