Doubt Regarding Maxillofacial Surgery

2017-09-29 02:28:45
My Niece is a 2 year and 9 months old.  He is suffering from Adenoid which makes him impossible to breathe if he catches up with a cold and the operation was not possible because he was unable to open the mouth along since his lower Jaw hasn't grown and it looks the same as when he was small. Now he is unable to chew food.  Is it possible to do Maxillofacial Surgery at a young age?
