When it comes to snoring, most of the solutions seem to be obtrusive, if not downright ineffective. For example, you can either wear a sleeping apparatus that helps reduce snoring (but makes you extremely uncomfortable while you sleep), or you can ask your partner to wear earplugs every night.
And, in some more extreme cases, it seems like surgery is the only answer to your snoring woes.
Frustrated by the lack of solutions available for those of us who snore the night away? Check out the benefits of Elevoplasty, a minimally invasive treatment that promises to alleviate snoring symptoms without surgery or general anesthesia.
What is Elevoplasty?
Elevoplasty is an innovative treatment that can be performed right in our office. The procedure works by slightly shortening the soft palate, which helps reduce the likelihood that the palate will obstruct breathing while you’re sleeping.
At the same time, shortening the palate helps to stiffen it, which means it’s much less prone to the vibration that creates that dreaded snore sound.
What Are the Benefits of Elevoplasty?
- Elevoplasty doesn’t require general anesthesia, meaning you won’t have to take time off after your treatment to recover from the effects of the anesthesia. Plus, as there’s no surgery required, you won’t have to deal with stitches or visible scarring.
- Elevoplasty can have an immediate improvement in snoring. That means if you’ve been praying for quieter nights, this procedure can offer relief the same night as the treatment.
- Elevoplasty is relatively inexpensive, especially compared to pricer options, like medical rhinoplasty. The average cost of an Elevoplasty treatment is $2400. Keep in mind that elevoplasty isn’t usually covered by health insurance plans, as it’s largely considered an elective treatment.
- Elevoplasty eliminates the need for snoring apparatuses, like mouth guards and nose strips – you know, the kind that prevent you from getting a good night’s sleep!
