Specially designed incisions at both sides of the uvula reduce the volume of the soft palate. The operation is performed under general anaesthesia and lasts about one hour. The patient is discharged home on the next day on oral medication and special soft diet, similar to that of simple tonsillectomy. The patient is advised to avoid physical stress and exposure to high temperature for three weeks after the operation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dda1b8b sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"dda1b8b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-972663b sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"972663b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure id=\"attachment_21823\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21823\" style=\"width: 668px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-21823\" src=\"https:\/\/art-orl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/LAUP-eng.jpg\" alt=\"Pharyngoplasty:\u0391: The operation aims at reducing the volume of the soft tissues, which obstruct the throat.
