Patients experience a significant sore throat after surgery, especially following UPPP, which is managed with prescribed pain medication. The discomfort is most intense for the first week and gradually improves over two weeks.
Success rates in Turkey are high and align with international standards. The rate depends on the procedure; MMA surgery can exceed 90%, while UPPP success rates are around 60-70% for suitable candidates.
Most patients need to stay in Istanbul for approximately 7 to 10 days. This timeframe covers the pre-operative consultation, the surgery itself, a short hospital stay, and an initial post-operative check-up.
Most international insurance plans do not cover elective surgery performed abroad. You should check with your provider directly, but patients typically self-fund their procedures in Turkey due to the affordable cost.
Surgery can significantly reduce or eliminate snoring for many patients by addressing the anatomical source of the sound. However, a complete cure is not always guaranteed, as factors like weight and aging can influence long-term results.
