Overview

Dr. Mandel’s Minimally Invasive Palatial Stiffening (MIPS) procedure is performed in-office under IV sedation in approximately 3 minutes as a stand-alone procedure, or 15-20 minutes when combined with a nasal procedure. Using a precision diode laser, Dr. Mandel penetrates the palatal surface of the uvula and soft palate to correct the area of obstruction. This surgery is designed to stiffen your soft palate and minimize breathing vibrations that cause blockages of your airways.

Patients treated with Dr. Mandel’s MIPS procedure experience improved sleeping in just one week. The surgery takes approximately 3 minutes and patients can typically recover and return to work within 24 hours. Aside from a sore throat that lasts roughly a week, patients experience minimal postoperative discomfort and report that their breathing and quality of sleep continue to dramatically improve weeks later.
