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 numerous benefits, especially for chronic sinus issues. Here are some key advantages:
- Minimally Invasive: No cutting or tissue removal.
- Quick Recovery: You can typically resume normal activities within a few days.
- Long-Lasting Relief: The procedure improves the structure of your sinuses. Thus, it offers long-lasting symptom relief.
