Hard to say: Unless you are ready to pay out of pocket for all costs involved you would need to qualify under your 3rd party insurers guidelines for surgical necessity. In the US that is usually limited to 5 tonsil infections/yr, a similar but lesser number over several years, a past tonsilar abscess, documented sleep apnea. You can visit with an ENT surgeon & see what it takes for your region/insurers.
