How Does Balloon Sinuplasty Work?
Balloon sinuplasty uses a small, flexible balloon catheter that is carefully inserted into blocked sinus passages. Once in position, the balloon is gently inflated to expand the sinus opening, improving drainage and airflow.
The balloon is then deflated and removed, leaving the sinus passage widened without removing tissue. This minimally invasive approach helps relieve pressure, reduce the likelihood of future blockages, and support natural healing.
Depending on your needs, this procedure may be performed under local or general anesthesia and is known for its relatively quick recovery time.
For patients with related symptoms such as chronic congestion or nasal airway restriction, additional treatments like Vivaer or RhinAer may also be considered as part of a comprehensive sinus care plan.
