Snoring & Sleep Apnea Surgery
Rest Better, Breathe Freely Expert Surgical Solutions for Sleep-Disordered Breathing
Snoring isn’t just a nuisance it’s often a sign of something deeper, like obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), where the airway partially or completely collapses during sleep. If left untreated, it can lead to fatigue, poor concentration, cardiovascular risks, and reduced quality of life. Snoring and sleep apnea surgery targets the anatomical causes behind airway obstruction and helps restore quiet, healthy breathing at night.
Understanding the Cause
Snoring and OSA can be caused by obstruction at various levels of the upper airway:
- Soft palate and uvula (most common)
- Base of the tongue
- Nasal congestion or blockage
- Enlarged tonsils or adenoids
- Collapsing airway tissues due to laxity or anatomy
For patients who don’t respond well to CPAP therapy or prefer a more permanent solution, surgical treatment can significantly improve sleep quality and daytime alertness.
