I would appreciate it if anyone who has submitted to the Pillar Procedure would tell us the details, particulary how severe their apnea was and how effective the Pillar Procedure was. Maybe also, how much it cost.

One doctor told me best solution for my snoring and OSA problem is a CPAP machine. I found alternative in pillar procedure. Cost SGD3000 in Singapore.
Stay in clinic for 1 hour, procedure in 10 minutes, recovery time 1 day, minor pain but bearable during procedure.

Another doctor said that I was a good candidate for pillar procedure after checking my nose and throat region.
Verdict: Still snores
Conclusion: Use a CPAP machine imported from USA

Disappointment with pillar procedure !
