Oral Cavity Procedures

Did you know that approximately 4% of the population experiences some form of dizziness? There are many causes of dizziness, but one common cause is a condition called vestibular dysfunction. Vestibular dysfunction refers to a problem with the inner ear or brain that causes problems with balance and eye movements.

How Is a Vestibuloplasty Performed?

A vestibuloplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia. This means you'll be asleep during the surgery. Dr. Jennifer Schaumberg will then make an incision in the ear to access the inner ear. Once the problem area is located, she will repair it using stitches or other methods. In some cases, a bone graft may be necessary to repair the damage.

After the vestibuloplasty is complete, you will be taken to a recovery room to rest. You may experience some pain and swelling after the surgery, but this can be controlled with medication. Most people are able to go home the same day as their surgery.
