What are the risks of the procedure?

Because the Pillar Procedure is done in the office, severe complications are extremely rare.

Minor complications include the extrusion (sticking out) of the pillar implant. This is often resolved by removal of the implant with replacement.

This procedure does not affect swallowing or significant voice changes.
