What Is LATERA?

LATERA® is an FDA approved nasal implant that provides support to the collapsing lateral nasal cartilage. LATERA can help patients breathe better by reducing nasal obstructive symptoms.

How Does LATERA Work?

LATERA is a simple procedure that Dr. Gould performs at the St. Louis Sinus Center. First, he applies topical anesthesia to ensure patient comfort. Then, Dr. Gould inserts the implant through a small, inter-nasal incision. After insertion, the implant isn’t visible and doesn’t affect the external structure of the nose. The entire procedure takes only 5 minutes.

Which Of These Treatment Options Are Right For Me?

Every situation of nasal obstruction is unique. Before recommending treatment, Dr. Gould conducts a thorough consultation and examination of the nose. This examination, which includes the Cottle Maneuver test, confirms that the cause of obstructed breathing is in fact a collapsed nasal valve and not another condition such as a deviated septum.

Which treatment is right for you may depend on your age, the severity of nasal valve collapse, and your preferences for technique, recovery, and long-term benefits. Our comprehensive consultation and discussion of treatment options should leave you with no questions about which approach would be best for you!
