Hello my daughter is 12 years of age. She has severe sleep apnea and is currently on CPAP. She had the adeniodectomy at age 8 with no results. What would you suggest?
12 years is still young. she can be fixed before it is too late. the real cause of of sleep apnea is a recessed jaw. is she a mouth breather? does her mouth/lips remain open at rest? her jaws need to be moved forward. at 12 years old this can be fixed non surgically. please see a maxillofacial surgeon for their thoughts. there is something called a Herbst appliance which can help to bring the jaws forward. not only do forward grown jaws prevent sleep apnea, they are also the most important thing about facial aesthetics. look up “ante face” to see what i mean. please help your daughter before it’s too late. i myself didn’t know any of this when i was younger and now i’m permanently fucked
@@onlinemaza4241 get a sleep study from your General Practitioner and see an Ear Nose Throat (ENT) Spiritualist. 1. Technology has improved to where sleep study kits can be sent to you directly. This means no going to a clinic for a sleep study. This is how my doctor conclusively determined I have sleep apnea. 2. I was sent a CPAP for sleep apnea, but even then I was not getting as much relief as I thought. I went to an ENT that determined my tonsils blocked my airway and nasal passages that outpatient tonsillectomy was b performed. I'm 15 days post-surgery, and my general wellbeing has significantly improved because I can actually breathe through my nose again. This is by no means advice. I'm not a medical expert. I'm only telling you my experience and journey!!
@@tyjandrewsand “ENT Spiritualist”🙏 has to rank higher than a Specialist, right? 😄 But kidding aside, it’s great to hear of a successful outcome and congrats!
Had a turbinate reduction with my septoplasty for a deviated septum. It sucks for a week after but highly recommend. Empty nose syndrome is generally caused from direct incision which is the old technique to my understanding . They currently use radio frequency waves to reduce the size.
An inch?? Wow that's a lot .its a bad moment but afterwards you'll be lika brand new boi and i dont know what you look like but im pretty sure it can improve ones appearance to have a more foward jaw
I had the soft pallet reduction procedure for sleep apnea. No Benefit whatsoever. With sleep apnea just my opinion, don’t do any of the soft tissue procedures. Your choices, cpap, oral appliance, combo cpap and oral appliance then Inspire. Last resort, jaw surgery.
Recovery for this would be AWFUL! I can’t imagine how much pain you’d be in or how much weight you’d lose. You’d probably have to have a temporary feeding tube in place for the duration of the healing and definitely no adult play time with your mouth
Just had the uppp surgery. Barely ate for a week. Lost about 6kgs and 2 weeks after surgery finally getting solid foods down. Not just ice cream and yogurt
All these are awful and incredibly stupid. The only surgery you need is MMA with counter clockwise rotation. The Jaws need to be moved forward and rotated up to cure sleep apnea.
Yes, it's unbelievable how many different soft tissue surgeries are performed when the core of these problems are very often the bone structure itself.
@@fls128 much bigger more risky surgery though, and likelihood of needing multiple surgeries (to get the best result) and lots of recovery time. It's no joke. This is why CPAP is still king before doing anything else.
Yeah good luck with that. Busting my whole face up and hoping the doc will align all my bones and teeth up straight.... No thank you. I prefer using my machine the rest of my life.

Thanks
I have palatal prolapse. Can you recommend a procedure or exercises?
Thanks for any info you might have.
There's also epiglottis surgery for rare cases
I need them all, except upper airway stimulation
This video needs more somber music that really brings home the feeling of cutting up your throat.
What about Bimax advancement? They tongue needs more space!
I wish there was a non surgical approach to the lingual tonsils 😭
Bimax advancement has a success rate of > 90-95%
Hello my daughter is 12 years of age. She has severe sleep apnea and is currently on CPAP. She had the adeniodectomy at age 8 with no results. What would you suggest?
Have them check her lingual tonsils.
Have sleep endoscopy done to figure out where exactly the blockage is
If you can, check for a tongue tie too

@@KFC-rl9wr Thank you so much. Yes she is a mouth breather and therefore nose cpap is satan to her. And also I am sorry how it turned out for you
👌👌🙏🏻
My nose is always closed, there is a lot of problem in breathing. And sleep breaks again and again at night..
I snore very loudly at night. give some advice

What about turbinate reduction and barbed snore surgery?
No I do not recommend it can cause Empty nose Syndrome.

@@PatrickA1 medical peeps aren't even sure this is a real condition, and not just a psychosomatic one. I'm serious.
My doctor told me I'd have to have my jaw broken & moved forward about an inch!! I'm so done, smh'..
This is my way forward to be honest,
Invisible braces and jaw surgery or I need heavy multi level surgery..
tongue retainer no good? I'd start with the basic surgeries that help first, mixed with non invasive stuff and see how you go.
An inch?? Wow that's a lot .its a bad moment but afterwards you'll be lika brand new boi and i dont know what you look like but im pretty sure it can improve ones appearance to have a more foward jaw
I need this surgery too
Bimax advancement is the most successful cure
Can people over 70 get one of these surgery?
At that age, tracheotomy would be the most simple and safest to bypass all the issues
Don't do it use the CPAP machine!
Try Dr Hang Los Angeles. There are other devices maybe Dr. Nagel does them.

Look into MSE. It’s well worth it. I’m hopefully getting it soon
@@henrykwieniawski7233is it covered by insurance?
Where did you have it carried out?

Atleast you'd have a goodnight sleep.
I like a chick who is concerned about not being able to give BJs for a couple weeks. 😂

@@elijones9257me too. Tonsilectomy & Uppp surgery 4 days ago 😭😭😭
Hi @@intanqlbi6891 how is the recovery ? My husban just done the procedure days ago. He's in agony 😢

I had braces and he wanted to move my jaws forward,it sounded scary i was like nope I'm good
@@kaydee506 would have been the best idea while you were still developing. Fixing things after they're set is much harder.
Yeah good luck with that. Busting my whole face up and hoping the doc will align all my bones and teeth up straight.... No thank you. I prefer using my machine the rest of my life.
Lesson learned don’t eat to much stay as fit as possible avoid being overweight or obese so you won’t have to do any these surgeries.
Anyone can have these issues including young fit children.
I'm 160 pounds and go to the gym every day. It's purely the genetic shape of my airway.
not true. I am not overweight and get a lot of excersise and I have bad sleep apnea
What are you doing now I'm in the same boat and 36 and weight is down to 350 from 377 and I have large tonsils and insomnia from all this@@Enguarde98
Not true! My 6 year old is fit as hell. And he’s about to get his Tonsils taken out. And he ain’t overweight or obese. And he has severe OSA.
