My son is 6. He has had a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy. After the (T&A) he has been experiencing hypernasality. He has been seeing a craniofacial surgeon here in Chicago and has had his palate elongated. He is going to speech therapy 3x a week. Nothing seems to be working for him. Now we are looking at doing the pharyngeal flap. I am terrified!! Can anyone help calm my nerves? Any good post-op results? Also, does anyone know of anyone who has had the hypernasality due to the removal of tonsils and adenoids? Feel free to email me at home.
