Surgical and laser treatment for snoring:

Laser treatment of the palate is losing favour as a treatment option. In its place, surgical procedures involving shortening or stiffening of the soft palate may be suggested. These procedures are referred to as UPP or UP3.

In some cases reduction of the turbinates, correction of deviated septums, surgical reduction of the tongue and removal of the tonsils are also considered.

Depending upon what is actually the cause of a particular persons snoring, surgery can be the most effective long term solution. However, there are always risks associated with invasive procedures. Some procedures may need to be repeated from time-to-time to remain effective. Surgical treatment can be expensive (or free if covered by insurance or your state healthcare system).
