It sounds like potentially, yes.

Dr. Li does surgery for sleep apnea. I was referred to him once for evaluation for a surgical procedure only he does (EASE/TPD) and which I was told that the referring doctor had seen a lot of effectiveness in improving sleep apnea in their patients. He seemed like he knew his stuff and was very up-front about being conservative about making predictions in my case.

I would be a little sceptical of someone whose whole career is based on nasal surgery to fix apnea playing down a simple non evasive alternative. He lists zero studies to back his premise of it being dangerous.
