Am I a Good Candidate for Balloon Sinuplasty?
If you’re living with chronic sinus infections, frequent congestion, or unpleasant sinus pressure, we understand that you need lasting relief. Balloon Sinuplasty™, also called balloon sinus dilation, has provided exactly that for more than 375,000 people worldwide, and more patients ask about it daily.
We offer this minimally invasive procedure at Del Rey, MD, in our Southern California offices in Marina del Rey, Long Beach, and Bakersfield. Our elite team of sinus specialists often recommends Balloon Sinuplasty for patients with chronic sinus issues, but are you a good candidate? Read on to find out more about the procedure.
What Is Balloon Sinuplasty?
Balloon Sinuplasty is a gentle, effective minimally invasive procedure to treat sinus blockages and chronic sinusitis. For this procedure, your specialist uses a special Balloon Sinuplasty system that fits into your natural nasal openings.
It includes a bendable guidewire and tiny balloon (it fits over the guidewire). Your specialist gradually dilates the balloon to widen the sinus opening. After opening the sinus, your specialist sprays a saline solution within your sinuses to flush out remaining mucus and pus for a complete clean. They withdraw the Balloon Sinuplasty system, leaving your sinuses clear and allowing you to breathe freely.
Is Balloon Sinuplasty Right For You?
We may recommend this procedure if you have chronic sinusitis, frequent sinus infections, or nasal congestion that doesn’t improve with medication and other conservative measures.
It’s often a great fit for anyone with these issues who wants to avoid sinus surgery.
Benefits of Balloon Sinuplasty
Balloon Sinuplasty offers several potential benefits for patients experiencing chronic sinus issues. Here are some key advantages:
- Minimally Invasive: No cutting or tissue removal.
- Improved Sinus Drainage: The procedure is designed to widen blocked sinus passages, which may help improve drainage and reduce symptoms.
- Office-Based: We perform Balloon Sinuplasty conveniently in the office.
For patients experiencing ongoing sinus issues, Balloon Sinuplasty may be an option worth exploring. This minimally invasive procedure may help manage sinus pressure and symptoms associated with recurring sinus infections without the need for more extensive sinus surgery.
