Introduction by Dr. Mourad’s Team

At Dr. Mourad’s Office, we understand the challenges that nasal obstruction can pose to your daily life, from difficulty in breathing to sleep disturbances. That’s why we’re proud to offer VivAer® Nasal Airway Remodeling, a state-of-the-art, minimally invasive procedure designed to enhance your nasal airflow effectively. Let’s explore how VivAer® can be the key to better breathing and improved quality of life.

Understanding VivAer®: A Breakthrough in Nasal Airway Remodeling

VivAer® represents a leap forward in treating nasal airway obstruction. This innovative procedure, performed at Dr. Mourad’s Office, utilizes radiofrequency energy to remodel the nasal valve without changing your nose’s outward appearance. The nasal valve is critical for proper airflow and is often the root cause of breathing difficulties.

The VivAer® Procedure: How it Works

The VivAer® procedure is a revolutionary, non-invasive treatment designed to alleviate nasal obstruction and improve breathing without the need for traditional surgery. Dr. Mourad and his expert team utilize this advanced technique to reshape the nasal passage, offering patients a quick and effective solution to chronic nasal congestion and breathing difficulties. Here’s a detailed look at how the VivAer® procedure works and what you can expect:

1. Advanced Technology: The procedure uses a specialized device, often referred to as a “wand,” that emits low-temperature radiofrequency energy. This energy gently remodels the nasal tissues, targeting the areas responsible for airflow obstruction. Unlike traditional surgical methods, there is no cutting, stitching, or removal of tissue involved.
2. Precision and Control: The device is inserted into the nasal passage, and the radiofrequency energy is delivered to the target area in a controlled manner. This precise application allows for the remodeling of the lateral wall of the nasal valve, which is often the culprit behind nasal congestion. The energy tightens and reshapes the tissue, effectively widening the nasal airway.
3. Immediate Impact: One of the most impressive aspects of the VivAer® procedure is its immediate impact on breathing. Patients often experience a noticeable improvement in airflow and a reduction in congestion right after the procedure. This is because the reshaped nasal passages allow for better airflow with minimal tissue disruption.

What to Expect During the Procedure

1. Pre-Procedure Preparation:
   • The VivAer® procedure is performed right in the office, under local anesthesia. This means you’ll be awake but comfortable, with minimal discomfort.
   • Before the procedure begins, your nasal passages will be numbed using a topical anesthetic to ensure you remain pain-free throughout the treatment.
2. The Procedure Itself:
   • The entire procedure typically takes less than 20 minutes.
   • The specialized wand is carefully guided into the nasal passage, where it emits controlled radiofrequency energy to the targeted areas.
   • The process involves several applications of energy, each lasting a few seconds, to remodel the tissue effectively.
3. Post-Procedure Recovery:
   • One of the major benefits of VivAer® is its minimal downtime. Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure, including returning to work or exercise.
   • You may experience mild swelling or congestion in the treated area, but this usually resolves within a few days.
   • The results are long-lasting, providing sustained relief from nasal obstruction and congestion.

Are You a Candidate for VivAer® Nasal Airway Remodeling?

Dr. Mourad’s Office carefully evaluates each patient to determine their suitability for VivAer®. This procedure is particularly effective for those with internal nasal valve collapse. It can also be a supplementary treatment for patients who have undergone previous nasal surgeries like septoplasty but still experience breathing challenges.

It is particularly effective for those with nasal valve collapse or constriction, which is a common cause of nasal breathing difficulties. Candidates for VivAer® may experience:

• Difficulty breathing through the nose.
• Chronic nasal congestion or stuffiness.
• Difficulty sleeping due to nasal obstruction.
• Reduced exercise capacity due to poor nasal airflow.
