About Snoreplasty

Snoreplasty, also known as injection snoreplasty or sclerotherapy for snoring, is a minimally invasive office-based procedure performed by an ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) specialist to reduce or eliminate primary snoring. The procedure involves injecting a sclerosing agent, such as sodium tetradecyl sulfate, into the soft palate (the roof of the mouth). This causes a controlled, localized inflammatory reaction, leading to scarring and stiffening of the floppy, vibrating tissues. By tightening the palate, it reduces the vibrations that cause the characteristic sound of snoring. It is a quick, low-risk alternative to more extensive surgeries like UPPP (uvulopalatopharyngoplasty), typically performed under local anesthesia with minimal downtime. It is specifically designed for patients with simple, non-apneic snoring where the primary issue is palatal flutter.

Key Highlights

Minimally invasive, office-based procedure requiring no general anesthesia.Quick procedure, often completed in under 15-20 minutes.Significantly reduces or eliminates primary snoring in many patients.Minimal downtime; patients can often return to normal activities within 1-2 days.Lower cost and fewer risks compared to traditional palatal surgery.Performed under local anesthesia, avoiding the risks associated with general anesthesia./ul

Who is this surgery for?

Primary, socially disruptive snoring without significant obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Snoring caused primarily by vibration of the soft palate and uvula.
Patients who have failed or are intolerant of conservative measures like weight loss, positional therapy, or oral appliances.
Individuals seeking a less invasive alternative to procedures like laser-assisted uvulopalatoplasty (LAUP) or UPPP.
Patients with a favorable anatomical finding of a long, floppy soft palate contributing to snoring.

How to prepare

Initial consultation with an ENT specialist for a thorough evaluation, which may include a sleep study to rule out obstructive sleep apnea.
Disclosure of all medications, especially blood thinners (e.g., aspirin, warfarin, clopidogrel), which may need to be paused prior to the procedure.
Avoidance of food and drink for a few hours before the procedure if instructed by the doctor.
Arranging for transportation home after the procedure, though it is not always mandatory.
Discussion of expectations, potential outcomes, and risks with the surgeon.

Risks & possible complications

Temporary sore throat, discomfort, or a feeling of a lump in the throat.
Swelling and inflammation at the injection site.
Risk of infection, though rare.
Ulceration or sloughing of the palatal tissue.
Changes in voice or nasal regurgitation (very rare).
Incomplete resolution of snoring, requiring additional treatments.
Potential for the snoring to recur over time as tissue may soften.

Recovery & hospital stay

Mild to moderate throat pain is common for 2-5 days, managed with prescribed pain relievers or over-the-counter analgesics.
Soft, cool foods are recommended for the first 24-48 hours (e.g., yogurt, ice cream, smoothies).
Avoid hot, spicy, crunchy, or acidic foods that could irritate the healing palate.
Maintain good oral hygiene with gentle rinsing as advised.
Avoid strenuous activity for a few days.
Full effects on snoring may take 4-8 weeks as the scarring and stiffening process completes.
Follow-up appointment with the ENT to assess outcomes.

Typical hospital stay: 0 days (Outpatient/Office Procedure)
Expected recovery time: 1-2 days for normal activity, 4-8 weeks for full effect
