Life in the 21st century has made great progress in medicine and surgery. Snoring has affected humans since ancient times.
People who snore today are lucky, because the effects of snoring are really beginning to be understood.
Before taking any method to stop snoring, use the methods provided by the medical profession; find out the cause of your snoring.

Understanding the root causes of snoring will help you point you in the right direction on how to eliminate or reduce snoring as much as possible.
Options available for relief may include anti-allergic medications before surgery, although snoring surgery is rarely or never the best option.
Snoring is not the same as surgery
Surgery is generally considered to be the best way to solve many life problems. This does not always apply to snoring.
In fact, the nature of surgery and snoring are not well integrated. For many reasons, surgery should be considered as a last resort.
There are risks in any surgical procedure, and in many cases, the benefits outweigh the risks; however, this usually occurs when there are few or no other options when solving a problem that affects a person’s health and well-being.
Snoring Surgery
Surgery is an exploratory process. The nature of surgery seems to be counterproductive for solving problems such as snoring, especially when there are other ways to solve the problem, it is much less invasive and can be equally successful.
The operation will leave scars, and because it is an exploratory process, the doctors cannot know what they will find until the process of cutting the patient.
After surgery such as rhinoplasty, surgery may often be the real cause of snoring.
The fact is that surgery to solve the problem of snoring does not always produce the expected results for most people who suffer from snoring.
Snoring surgery is not a common procedure, and it is not as reliable as some regular surgical procedures.
Because snoring is the result of tissue blocking the air passage, the surgical response is to remove any excess tissue that may cause the blockage.

For some people, this may be a reasonable and acceptable response to their snoring problem, but it is definitely not the case for most people who snore.
Remember, snoring is not always the cause of problems; snoring is more common, if not more frequent, as a symptom of other diseases of the body.
The causes of individual snoring problems vary from person to person, so there is no simple way to cure everyone's snoring problem. The next page contains an example of the complexity of snoring and how surgery can’t solve the root cause.
Let's look at something simple and non-medical: car insurance.
Let's take 20 people whose insurance company considers them to be bad drivers.
Because of this suspicious difference, all these drivers will face a $500 premium increase when they renew their insurance.
Now, from a distance, it seems that all these drivers are in the same boat (or the same car, so to speak).
Given this assumption, one way to solve this problem might be to simply give each of these people an extra $500 in cash. Really, strangely, this is a way to solve this problem for each of these 20 drivers-they need to find an extra 500 dollars to pay for their insurance premiums, and this is what this hypothetical solution does.
However, is this wise? No! Some of these drivers, possibly many of them, have not really corrected why their insurance company may classify them as "bad drivers."
They just don't know why they are bad drivers, so some of them may still be "bad drivers" and face higher insurance premiums next year, but this time after more accidents or fines.
It is easy to see that when everyone receives a good gift of $500 to pay for their increased insurance premiums, the real cause of the so-called "bad driving" has not been resolved.
Since the problem is not really solved, bad driving may reappear and cause financial problems, and worse, it may endanger health and safety.

It’s easy to miss the true source of snoring; it may be related to diet, sleeping position, chin or tongue dysfunction, lifestyle, genetics, or signs of more serious health problems; after an apparently successful operation, you may be affected.
Dangerously suppress (at least temporarily) indications. Accepting surgery as a quick and easy snoring solution is like giving these bad drivers $500 in cash.
It looks like it can solve your problem, but for many people, it's just a temporary solution; covering up deeper problems that may have serious consequences in the future, including sleep apnea.
Reasons for Refusal of Snoring Surgery
Surgery is usually prescribed as the first and only solution for snoring patients.
In many cases, surgery for different diseases is considered the first and only form of treatment that can exist.
This does not happen with snoring. Surgery can save lives and minimize pain, but in addition to the financial costs involved, it also brings costs.
Due to the risks associated with surgery, there are many reasons why surgery should not be considered, including:
• postoperative cosmetic effects
• infections
• tissue fear and inflammation
• expensive follow-up surgery
• time-consuming healing process
• pain relief and swelling control Expensive drugs
• May cause impairment of speech and tone
• Swallowing complications
• Possible leakage and bleeding from wounds
• May cause irritation due to dry mouth

Snoring Surgery Procedure Overview
Surgery is a life-saving tool that has saved countless lives, but today, almost everything has a surgical procedure.
Some of these procedures may be trivial and unnecessary. As far as snoring is concerned, surgery does not guarantee a solution to the problem.
When looking for a solution to the problem, anyone who directly or indirectly deals with snoring must be aware of this, and it is very important.
The following example reviews common surgical procedures for snoring and how they disappoint patients.
These examples show the name of the surgery, its design purpose, and most importantly, the many adverse effects reported as a result of each surgery.
The problems listed due to different surgical procedures are serious. These issues range from finances to permanent or long-term issues that patients may have to deal with after snoring surgery.
The actual design purpose of each of these operations may be an absolute detour.
When you consider the issues related to them, when there are many other options available, compound effects need to be carefully considered.
Again, this is why in most cases, surgery should be considered as a last resort, if any. These are the risks associated with snoring surgery; any surgical procedure has other risks; but these other types of problems cannot be compared with the unique problems of snoring and the different surgeries designed to solve it.
For example, cost is always an issue, but issues such as snoring must be taken into account, while issues such as cancer or defective organs must be borne to maintain and improve lives.
Another risk is anesthesia. "Accept" surgery is not always the case, but it is true for any type of major surgery. This is required for snoring surgery, and it is well known that in some cases, anesthesia can cause complications and even death.
