Stop snoring from disrupting your sleep and your partner
By addressing anatomical issues such as enlarged tonsils, nasal polyps, or a deviated septum, snoring surgery, or non-invasive alternative treatments, can significantly reduce or even eliminate episodes of apnea. Snoring surgery is designed to remove or reduce tissue in the throat that may be blocking airflow, thereby improving breathing during sleep. This can lead to better sleep quality, reduced daytime fatigue, and a lower risk of cardiovascular problems. Additionally, snoring surgery can help alleviate social and relationship stress caused by disruptive snoring.

Your Elevate Experience
Step One
Your Consultation
The doctor will perform. physical examination focusing on the nose, throat, and mouth to check for anatomical issues. The doctor will then discuss potential surgical and non-surgical options, detailing the procedures, risks, benefits, and expected outcomes.

FAQS
It aims to reduce or eliminate snoring by addressing structural issues in the airway. Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP), involves removing excess tissue from the throat, and radiofrequency ablation, which uses heat to shrink tissues. Laser-assisted uvulopalatoplasty (LAUP) is another option that trims the uvula and soft palate. These treatments are typically performed under local or general anesthesia and may require a recovery period. The goal is to widen the airway, thereby reducing vibrations that cause snoring.
Depending on the complexity of the surgery, it may be performed under local or general anesthesia. Post-operative care is crucial, so patients are often monitored in a recovery area before being discharged. For minor procedures, some outpatient clinics may also offer snoring surgery with the advantage of same-day discharge.
Some treatments may be completed in a single session. However, more complex cases might necessitate multiple treatments to achieve optimal results.
The level of discomfort experienced can vary depending on the specific type of surgery performed. Pain management usually involves prescribed pain relievers and a recovery period of a few days to a couple of weeks.
Some people may begin to notice changes in their weight as early as a few weeks after starting treatment. However, it is not uncommon for significant results to take several months and last several months. We’ll talk you through how you can prolong your results through diet and exercise.
