What Does Balloon Sinuplasty Treatment Involve?
A balloon sinuplasty is an in-office procedure that is performed to relieve pressure and pain caused by built-up sinus fluids. Unlike traditional endoscopic sinus surgeries that often require incisions and tissue removal, balloon sinus dilation has few risks and minimal downtime. Here’s how it works:
- A very small and thin deflated balloon is fed through the nose until it reaches the sinuses.
- The balloon is gently inflated, expanding the sinus passages and allowing them to drain properly.
- In some cases, saline may also be sprayed directly into the sinuses to flush them out.
- The balloon is deflated and removed, while the sinuses remain open.
