Brachycephalic Airway Surgical Correction

This very good little French Bulldog was born with severely "tight" nostrils.  This condition is called "Stenotic Nares".

He also had a very long soft palate hanging down in the back of his throat.

The combination of the two leads to intense snoring and difficulty breathing when trying to be active and play.

I surgically repaired his nose and trimmed back his soft palate 2 weeks ago.

You can see the pre-op and immediate post-op photos below. The 3rd photo is during his 2-week check-up. He can breathe! He can play! And his nose looks great!

I am so grateful for my "Brachycephalic Airway Surgical Correction" skills! 28 years of fine-tuning this craft continues to pay off for my bulldog patients EVERY SINGLE DAY.
