Struggling with chronic sinus symptoms? Balloon sinuplasty may provide the relief you are seeking. Balloon sinuplasty is a minimally-invasive procedure used to treat inflamed sinuses. A small tube is placed into your nose with a small balloon attached. The balloon is than inflated in the area where the blockage occurred helping to clear the passageways providing immediate relief.
Chronic sinus symptoms can greatly reduce your quality of life. Over the counter medicine can only provide limited relief for chronic sinus issues and can often cost you hundreds if not thousands of dollars a year. Balloon sinuplasty is minimally-invasive, provides instant recovery and leaves zero scars, bruising or swelling.
Balloon sinuplasty is a straightforward treatment designed to provide instant relief with minimal downtime. Local anesthesia is applied, leaving you awake and alert. Once the local anesthesia has taken affect, your doctor will insert two small tubes into the nasal cavity. One tube contains a camera, allowing your doctor to see inside your nose, and the second tube contains a small balloon attached to the end of it. Once in place, the balloon will be inflated opening your nasal passage clearing any blockages.
Once the procedure is completed, you are free to return home immediately and may resume normal daily activities in 24 hours. Generally, patients will experience immediate relief from sinus pain and discomfort.
