Night time breathing is obstructed, snoring is so loud, waking up frequently during the night. Is a Laser-assisted uvulopalatoplasty surgery effective? What do you suggest?
Feb 1, 2013

Dr. Paul Yazbek Otolaryngology (ENT)
Obstructed night time breathing is very bad, waking up frequently is worse, snoring is dangerous!
Laser surgery (LAUP) is NOT the solution, you have to see a doctor ASAP, as there are many non-surgical options to treat this condition from weight loss to stopping certain drugs, cessation of smoking, control of acid reflux, exercise, stopping alcohol......
Most important is to know that your condition is serious, surgery is the last resort, LAUP is not the best option as there is a much better surgery for snoring, please seek medical attention.
