Pillar Implants Procedure in Foley, AL
Family ENT PracticeWhat is the Pillar Procedure?
The Pillar Procedure is a minimally invasive snoring procedure designed to improve symptoms of chronic snoring and treat some cases of mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a serious sleep disorder in which breathing is interrupted repeatedly during sleep. It involves the insertion of small woven implants into the soft palate in order to stiffen the skin to prevent airway obstruction and reduce vibrations that cause loud snoring. It is an in-office procedure that is performed in one visit and involves no downtime.
Why is the Pillar Procedure performed (or not)?
One primary cause of both snoring and obstructive sleep apnea results from the relaxation of muscles and tissues at the back of your throat. The soft palate is one structure in particular that can lead to snoring and airway obstruction.
The Pillar Procedure:

Is not recommended for severe obstructive sleep apnea
