A Surgical Solution for Better Sleep
When CPAP isn't working, surgery can provide lasting relief
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) occurs when the airway repeatedly collapses during sleep, causing breathing to stop and start throughout the night. This leads to poor sleep quality, daytime fatigue, and serious health risks including heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
While CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machines are the standard first-line treatment, many patients cannot tolerate them long-term. Surgical treatment offers a permanent solution by enlarging the airway so it doesn't collapse during sleep.
The most effective surgical procedure is maxillomandibular advancement (MMA), which repositions both the upper and lower jaws forward. This permanently enlarges the airway space and has a success rate exceeding 90% - far higher than any other sleep apnea surgery.
Dr. Antipov's extensive training in complex jaw surgery makes him uniquely qualified to perform these life-changing procedures. He works closely with sleep physicians to ensure optimal outcomes for every patient.

Surgical Treatment Options
Customized procedures based on your anatomy and severity of sleep apnea
Jaw Advancement (MMA)
Both jaws move forward to widen the airway. Over 90% of patients see major improvement or full resolution.
Tongue Advancement
Moves the tongue anchor point forward so it cannot fall back and block the airway at night.
Hyoid Suspension
Moves the throat bone to create more airway space and stop collapse during sleep.
Combined Procedures
Two or more procedures done together for the widest airway opening in severe cases.
Your Treatment Journey
From evaluation to resolution of sleep apnea
Sleep Evaluation
1-2 hoursWe review your sleep study, CPAP history, and medical records. A 3D scan maps your airway to find the blockage. We work with your sleep doctor to plan treatment.
Treatment Planning
2-3 weeks3D scans measure your airway. We simulate surgery results to pick the best option for you — jaw advancement, airway expansion, or both.
Pre-Surgery Prep
VariesYour doctor clears you for surgery. If jaw advancement is planned, you may need braces first. We handle hospital booking and give you clear pre-op instructions.
Surgery Day
2-4 hoursYou are under general anesthesia in a hospital. For MMA, both jaws move forward to widen the airway. Surgery takes 2 to 4 hours. Most patients stay 1 to 2 nights.
Recovery
6-8 weeks healingSwelling goes down in 2 to 3 weeks. Soft foods for 6 to 8 weeks. Most people go back to work in 2 to 3 weeks. A follow-up sleep study at 3 to 6 months confirms your results.
