The success of any surgery to stop snoring is greatly increased with the addition of some simple lifestyle changes (change in diet, drink and exercise for example). So it makes sense to try these lifestyle changes before embarking on surgery as this may cure the problem alone, without the need for surgery. And in many cases surgery to stop snoring is irreversible, so of all the possible snoring solutions, it should be considered as the last option.

There are many different procedures available but most surgical procedures to cure snoring are based around resolving one of these issues.

• Poor or difficult nasal airflow
• Loose tissue in the throat or of the soft palate and uvula
• Obstructions caused by a misplaced tongue or jaw
