Balloon Sinuplasty

What is a Balloon Sinuplasty?

Balloon Sinuplasty (or balloon sinus dilation) is an in-office treatment option which allows sinus patients to experience significant improvement by treating the root cause of the recurrent infection. The balloon sinuplasty procedure is performed by a board-certified sinus surgeon and typically takes 15 minutes. Often, patients can be back to normal routine within the same day!

Remarkable Sinus Relief

Sinus balloon surgery utilizes a tiny balloon to dilate and remodel the opening of the sinus cavity, allowing your sinuses to drain and ventilate more effectively. Patients generally will experience an immediate difference from a procedure that takes just minutes.

Is Balloon Sinuplasty Safe?

Since its emergence in 2005, balloon sinuplasty surgery has been proven to be a vast improvement from sinus surgeries of the past. With no surgical incisions required and no loss of tissue, recovery time is dramatically shorter and complications are few and far between.

In addition, balloon sinuplasty preserves healthy tissue and mucous membranes. Studies on balloon sinuplasty have shown a 94% effectiveness in reducing chronic sinusitis, with a reduction in symptoms being reported within 1 week of the procedure, and an overall improvement in quality of life. The effects of the procedure were studied 1 and 2 years later and were shown to have lasting effects.¹

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of Balloon Sinuplasty?

Patients often report immediate relief from the pain and congestion of their sinus infections. Because sinus balloon surgery is minimally invasive, recovery time is substantially quicker and patients experience reduced bleeding, bruising, and overall pain. Most patients are able to return to normal after 24 - 48 hours!

How is Balloon Sinuplasty different from sinus surgery?

Since Balloon Sinuplasty involves no cutting or nasal packing, patients experience less pain and faster recovery than with traditional sinus surgery. We do offer the option of intravenous sedation with an anesthesiologist if you choose. The treatment is performed in the comfort of our dedicated sinus treatment room by a surgeon and team of highly skilled specialists.

Will my insurance cover this type of procedure?

Most insurances cover sinus surgery with the Balloon Sinuplasty device. To be 100% certain of your coverage, contact your insurance provider to find out.

Medicare patients specifically are covered for endoscopic sinus surgery when any combination of tools, including the balloon catheter, is used to perform the procedure.
