What Can I Expect From Balloon Sinuplasty?

The balloon sinuplasty procedure is fast, comfortable, and convenient. It’s done in the sinus doctor’s office and effectively opens your sinus pathway for long-term relief. You’ll notice clearer breathing, improved sleep, fewer sinus infections, and a better quality of life — without medication.

 

Here’s how balloon sinuplasty works:

• The physician places a small balloon in the sinus opening

• The balloon is gently inflated for about five seconds to expand the opening and restore drainage

• The balloon is deflated and removed

• The physician treats the next sinus passageway as needed

 

After Balloon Sinuplasty

Within 10 to 15 minutes after the procedure is complete, you can leave the office. You may have some gauze under your nose to collect drainage. You may change this gauze as often as you feel necessary. The drainage will lessen over 24 to 48 hours.
