Elevoplasty Snore Treatment

Elevoplasty is a procedure to treat primary snoring due to isolated soft palate vibration. This procedure is accomplished by inserting 3 absorbable barbed sutures into the soft palate which allows the soft palate to be both lifted (typically 1-4mm) as well as stiffened. The sutures are slowly absorbed by the body over 6 months leaving behind scar tissue to help maintain soft palate position and stiffness. Keep in mind that this procedure does not treat obstructive sleep apnea. This procedure is also not covered by insurance.
