What Is Snoring?

Snoring is the sound produced by vibrations in the throat due to partial airway obstruction during sleep. It often occurs when the muscles in the throat relax excessively, causing the airway to narrow. This condition is most common during deep sleep and can affect anyone, though it is more prevalent in men and individuals who are overweight. Chronic snoring can lead to sleep disruptions and affect your overall well-being. At NSIBR physicians specialize in diagnosing the root causes of snoring and provide effective treatments to fit your needs.

Symptoms Your Snoring Can be Affecting Your Health

Most people often miss the signs of snoring. Here are some of the signs that may indicate that you are suffering from snoring:

  • Waking up feeling tired even though you’ve had a full night’s sleep
  • Morning headaches or dry mouth upon waking
  • Frequent waking during the night or restless sleep
  • Daytime sleepiness, difficulty concentrating, or irritability
  • Your partner noticing pauses in your breathing or gasping sounds during sleep

At NSIBR, our comprehensive evaluation includes assessing your nasal structure, breathing patterns, and sleep quality through imaging, nasal endoscopy, and sleep studies. This helps identify the most effective solutions for improving your breathing to reduce snoring.

Snoring Treatment Options

Dr. Nathan E. Nachlas - patient surgery

We offer various non-surgical, minimally invasive, and surgical remedies for snoring. Our expert team includes Dr. Nachlas and Dr. Hancock who hold double board certification in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery and otolaryngology-head and neck surgery. Our snoring treatment options include:

  • Non-Surgical Balloon Septoplasty for Snoring: The procedure opens up the nasal passages, improving airflow and reducing snoring.
  • Septoplasty Surgery: Corrects a deviated septum, a common cause of snoring, by straightening the nasal septum for better breathing.
  • Functional Nasal Sculpting: Reshapes the nasal airway to improve airflow, addressing both the functional and aesthetic aspects of the nose.
  • Sleep Apnea Implant: Dr. Hancock offers a groundbreaking sleep apnea implant treatment that alleviates airway blockages, providing long-term relief from sleep apnea and snoring.
  • The Total Nose Approach™: This technique, pioneered by Dr. Nachlas, combines corrective procedures for breathing issues, such as nasal obstruction, with cosmetic refinements ensuring optimal airflow while enhancing overall facial balance.

Candidates For Our Snoring Solutions

If chronic snoring affects your sleep quality or that of your partner, you may be a candidate for treatment. Persistent snoring that doesn’t improve with lifestyle changes and medication often indicates an underlying nasal or airway issue. At NSIBR, we evaluate your condition to determine the most effective solution to help you breathe and sleep better.

  • Must be in good health to safely undergo surgery or minimally invasive treatment
  • Non-smoker or committed to quitting smoking before the procedure
  • Clear, realistic expectations regarding the outcomes
  • Willingness to adhere to all pre- and post-surgery instructions for a smooth recovery

What To Expect After Your Treatment

During your snoring surgery at NSIBR, you’ll be under a light anesthetic for your comfort, even though local anesthetic may also be used. The surgery may involve techniques like septoplasty or nasal sculpting to address airway obstructions. Mild swelling and discomfort are common after surgery, and you’ll need to follow specific guidelines to ensure proper healing. Recovery depends on the type of procedure even though most patients resume their routine activities within a few days. Patients gradually notice improvements in their breathing and sleep quality over time as healing continues and swelling subsides. Your surgeon will provide detailed pre-surgery instructions and closely monitor your recovery progress.

FAQ’s

Sinus snoring occurs when nasal congestion or sinus issues cause airway obstruction, leading to snoring. This can be due to allergies, sinusitis, or structural problems in the nose.

Snoring can be a symptom of sleep apnea, a serious condition where breathing repeatedly stops during sleep. If you snore regularly, it’s important to get evaluated for sleep apnea to determine which treatment option, such as Dr. Hancock’s pioneering obstructive sleep apnea implant surgery.

Coverage for snoring surgery varies by insurance plan. It’s best to consult with your provider and our office to determine your coverage options.
