By cutting it, we mean surgically. Like most human problems that have become more serious, the last resort is that of leaning towards medical procedures which unfortunately is something not all can afford.

Then again, when you suffer from one of the worst cases of sleep apnea, you may as well want to consider trying to find ways to get that procedure done. Such was the case for this software engineer named Daniel Sheiner who through a sleep study found that he had one of the worst cases of sleep apnea.

“Daniel’s obstruction was both at the level of the soft palate and at the back of the tongue,” Thaler says. “He had very large tonsils, but his tonsil tissue was also enlarged in the palate area and also at the back of his tongue.”

He had the worst case scenario, needing to wear a face mask to try and remedy the problem. Normally, sleep apnea would not be seen in young thin persons but in his case, surgery has become a need.

For patients with recessed chins, small jaws and airways narrowed by facial structure, this might be the surgery for them. But it can take nearly a year to recover, and many patients opt not to have it.
