Hi ~ Connie, there is a Primary Uvula and throat procedure for obstructive sleep apnea is Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP)

alongside alternatives like laser-assisted Uvuloplasty and palatal expansion.

This surgery removes or reshapes the uvula, soft palate, and tonsils to open up the airway

and there would be no need for the mask and machine.
