Most patients describe FEES as uncomfortable but not painful. You may feel mild pressure or a tickling sensation as the small, flexible camera is gently passed through the nose. Some people experience watery eyes or a brief urge to sneeze or cough. However, the procedure is quick, well-tolerated, and requires no needles or sedation.

Our clinicians take care to ensure you’re as comfortable as possible, and we talk you through every step of the process.
