Balloon Sinusplasty?
Constant sinus pressure. Headaches that linger. Trouble breathing through your nose. If this sounds familiar, you’re in good company—and there’s a simple, effective option that could help. Balloon Sinuplasty is a gentle in-office procedure that opens blocked sinus pathways and provides long-lasting relief—without cutting or downtime. If you’re tired of temporary fixes, we’re here to talk about a better way to breathe easy again.
What This Procedure Can Improve
- Sinus-related facial pain and pressure
- Sinus headaches
- Persistent nasal congestion
- Yellow or green nasal discharge
- A reduced sense of smell
How Balloon Sinusplasty Works
A tiny balloon is inserted into the blocked sinus and gently inflated to widen the passageways. Once opened, normal sinus drainage is restored, and the balloon is removed.
Ideal Candidates
- People with chronic sinusitis not relieved by medication
- Patients looking to avoid traditional sinus surgery
- Those seeking long-term relief from sinus pressure
What You Can Expect
- Performed in-office under local anesthesia
- Lasts about 1 to 1.5 hours
- Most return to normal activities within 24–48 hours
- Improvement in symptoms typically within days
