The Benefits of a Balloon Sinuplasty
This procedure can provide patients with relief for several chronic sinus conditions and help improve nasal congestion and nasal breathing. Clinical studies have demonstrated and proven this procedure to be both safe and highly effective in the treatment of sinusitis. Benefits include the following:
- Minimal risk and complications
- No need for incisions
- Improves ease of breathing
- Provides significant, lasting relief from chronic sinusitis
- Clears sinuses
- Allows you to go home the same day as the procedure
- No tissue or bone removal required
- Short recovery time
Sinusitis causes inflammation or swelling in the sinus tissue lining, often leading to chronic pain. The blockages from swelling are prone to germs and infections that might last a few days or a few weeks and cause painful symptoms the entire time. Balloon sinuplasty treats the following concerns:
- Pain from inflamed, swollen sinus tissues
- Nasal blockage
- Severe rhinosinusitis (sinusitis lasting for three months or longer)
- Runny nose
- Stuffy nose
- Facial pain, swelling, and/or pressure (around the eyes, cheeks, nose, forehead)
- Tension headaches
- Post-nasal drip
- Sore throat
- Snoring
- Reduced sense of smell or taste
- Chronic cough
- Fever
These symptoms might represent acute sinusitis if they last less than four weeks. Chronic sinusitis symptoms last for 12 weeks or more and may be less severe, but are persistent and recurrent. If you are experiencing these symptoms, particularly if they do not improve with over-the-counter treatments or persist for an extended period, consulting with our Clear Lake Medical Center ENT doctor is advisable to get relief.
If you experience chronic sinusitis, symptoms lasting more than 3 months, or if you experience recurrent episodes of acute sinusitis, symptoms lasting 4-6 weeks, you may be a candidate for balloon sinuplasty.
