LATERA® Nasal Valve Implant
Discover a breath of fresh air with LATERA® Nasal Valve Implants by Dr. Thomas Higgins in Louisville, KY
What is the LATERA® nasal valve implant procedure?
Welcome to a new world of effortless breathing and improved quality of life! Dr. Thomas Higgins, MD, MSPH—an esteemed otolaryngologist and rhinologist in Louisville, KY—offers the innovative LATERA® nasal valve implant as a minimally invasive solution for patients suffering from nasal airway obstruction caused by weak or collapsing sidewalls.
How is LATERA® nasal implant procedure performed for nasal obstruction?
LATERA® is an absorbable nasal valve implant designed to provide immediate relief from nasal obstruction while promoting long-lasting improvement in your breathing.
Instant Relief and Lasting Support
The LATERA® implant is a small, flexible device that’s inserted into the sidewall of your nose to provide instant lateral wall support. This added reinforcement alleviates obstruction and significantly improves airflow without altering your natural appearance.
Minimally Invasive Procedure
Performed by Dr. Higgins under local or general anesthesia, the LATERA® procedure is minimally invasive and requires no incisions or stitches. Typically completed within 20-30 minutes, you’ll be able to return to your daily activities shortly after the procedure.
Long-Lasting Results
As the implant gradually absorbs over time (typically within 18 months), it stimulates collagen growth to create lasting structural support for your nasal sidewalls. The results offer enduring relief from nasal airway obstruction.
