Does pillar implant work?

0

From: Michael K. I am 31 years old and have been dealing with severe sleep apnea for the past few years. I first tried CPAP, then BiPAP. The pressure is so high, I get lots of air in my belly and just doesn’t’t feel good in the morning. I am still tired even when I use the machine all night. I finally tried a mouth piece. It did help alittle, but my jaw aches in the morning and my bite doesn’t feel the same after using it for only 6 months. I have looked at surgery, but am just so turned off by all of the risks with UPPP. I went to see an ENT surgeon last week and was told that Pillar implant is an options for me. It sounds much less drastic than UPPP. Does Pillar implant work?
