Extra weight around the neck can lead to, or increase, snoring. For that reason one of the best treatments for snoring is to lose weight. The operations for snoring are offered on the NHS and also privately. It is important, however, that those considering surgery have a full history taken and also a full medical check-up, including possible sleep studies. Not all forms of snoring are appropriate for surgery.
Surgery is a painful option, and the problem can reoccur.
