Selective Adipose Cryolysis for Reduction of Lingual Tissue in a Porcine Model
Selective adipose cryolysis holds promise as a targeted therapeutic approach for reducing lingual fat in humans. The porcine model may provide valuable insight into treatment mechanisms and support initial translational work. Further research is warranted to elucidate long-term treatment outcomes and optimize clinical implementation strategies, with the goal of improving management of OSA in humans.
