Balloon Sinuplasty

Chronic Sinusitis causes facial pain, headache, pressure, congestion, loss of smell as well as chronic fatigue. The symptoms can be miserable and overwhelming. Many people suffer for years, going through multiple rounds of antibiotics and nasal sprays without ever getting real relief.

If you have Chronic Sinusitis and have not responded to medical treatments you may be a candidate for a new, safe, minimally-invasive, FDA-approved, outpatient procedure called Balloon Sinuplasty.

Balloon Sinuplasty uses a small, flexible, balloon catheter that is placed through your nose into your natural sinus openings while you are asleep under general anesthesia. The balloon is slowly inflated to gently open up the blocked sinus openings without cutting away tissue or damaging the sinus. The procedure takes about an hour and causes less pain, bleeding, and scarring. There are no facial incisions, bruising, or scars and patients do not require uncomfortable nasal packing. Many patients are able to return to normal activities quickly.

Studies have shown Balloon Sinuplasty to be extremely safe, effective, and lasting. Among all reported studies, involving thousands of sinuplasties, there have been no serious adverse events reported from the balloon. One study of over 1000 patients found 96% of patients reported improvement in their symptoms and another found this improvement was still present an average of 2 years later.
