Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) is surgery to make your breathing passage wider. This is done by taking out your tonsils and uvula and making the lower edge of your soft palate smaller. This pamphlet explains what will happen before and after surgery, care at home, follow-up care, and symptoms you need to watch for.
