Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty

A type of operation designed to tighten up flabby tissues and enlarge the upper air passages. The operation involves reshaping the uvula, soft palate and throat.The uvula is a small piece of soft tissue that can be seen dangling down from the soft palate over the back of the tongue. The uvula is described variously shaped like a U, a tear or a grape. The uvula has its own little muscle, the musculus uvuae, to help it stiffen and change shape, so it helps fill in the space at the back of the throat.
