What is a Tonsillectomy?
At Eos ENT, Dr. Nima utilizes the latest surgical techniques for tonsillectomy, focusing on enhancing breathing, improving sleep quality, and elevating your overall health and well-being. Whether you are dealing with recurrent tonsillitis or sleep-disruptive large tonsils, our team is dedicated to providing effective and compassionate care.
A tonsillectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the tonsils. Tonsil removal is often recommended for individuals suffering from recurrent tonsillitis or strep throat, especially if they experience more than three infections yearly. By removing the tonsils, the frequency of these infections is significantly reduced, leading to fewer sick days and more quality time in daily life.
Dr. Nima may recommend tonsillectomy to address overly large tonsils obstructing breathing, particularly during sleep. Breathing obstructions can lead to snoring and, more seriously, obstructive sleep apnea, which disrupts sleep and prevents deep, restorative sleep cycles.

Tonsillectomy Process with Eos ENT
Pre-Surgical Consultation
We start with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Nima. He will assess your symptoms and medical history and explain the benefits and expected outcomes of the tonsillectomy procedure.
Surgery Preparation
The procedure is done on an outpatient basis under anesthesia. It is performed through the mouth, avoiding external incisions, and takes about 20 minutes. Patients with large tonsils experience immediate improvement in breathing after the surgery.
Surgical Procedure and Recovery
After a tonsillectomy, managing discomfort is the main challenge. You’ll receive medication for relief. Stick to a soft food diet for two weeks to lower the risk of complications. Dr. Nima will schedule a follow-up appointment three weeks after the surgery to check your progress. Contact our office with any questions or concerns or to schedule a visit.
