Sinus Issues: What Is Balloon Sinuplasty?

Chronic sinus issues are one of the top reasons why antibiotics get prescribed in the United States. But what if the common symptoms like nasal discharge and congestion can be relieved with a simple procedure?

A balloon sinuplasty is a new procedure that involves balloons—that’s right, balloons! It’s also lower risk compared to more invasive sinus surgeries.

So if you’re currently struggling with sinus issues, take a look at the details behind this minimally invasive procedure that could change your life.

Sinus Issues: What Is Balloon Sinuplasty?

What Is Balloon Sinuplasty?

A balloon sinuplasty is a type of endoscopic nose surgery that uses balloon catheters. These small balloons expand and drain fluids, pus, and mucus out of the sinuses. This procedure works similarly to angioplasty, which uses balloon catheters to inflate blood vessels.

A balloon sinuplasty is a non-invasive sinus surgery and doesn’t involve deep cuts or major tissue loss. Recovery times are short and painless.

Does a Balloon Sinuplasty Resolve Sinus Issues?

Since the procedure helps drain nasal cavities, a balloon sinuplasty is ideal for those suffering from nasal inflammation and general sinus problems. There are two main sources of inflammation that a balloon sinuplasty helps treat:

Rhinosinusitis

Also known as sinusitis, rhinosinusitis is a sinus infection and causes inflamed nasal cavities and congestion. When antibiotics and saline flushes don’t work, those who suffer from chronic rhinosinusitis are eligible for balloon sinuplasty.

Sinus Blockage

Nasal obstructions often cause similar symptoms to rhinosinusitis, like trouble breathing and congestion. Factors like mucus and excess fluids build up and cause a blockage in the nasal cavity. Like rhinosinusitis, these symptoms are typically relieved by antibiotics or drainage treatments, but a balloon sinuplasty helps severe cases.

Balloon Sinuplasty Recovery

Since the procedure is simple and doesn’t require any incisions, you’ll be able to go home quickly after your procedure. After the procedure, you’ll need to rinse your nasal passageways with a saline solution given to you by your doctor.

A balloon sinuplasty recovery only takes about 24-48 hours before you can continue your normal activities. Try to avoid any strenuous activities until you’re fully healed. The full healing process takes a maximum of two weeks.

Along with a quick recovery, a lack of incisions means you won’t experience much pain after the procedure. Your doctor may prescribe minor painkillers to ease tenderness, if necessary. Fatigue and minor drainage is a common side effect that will go away in a week or so.

Once you’ve fully healed, you don’t have to worry about getting another balloon sinuplasty because this procedure eases sinus issues long-term. However, if you’re experiencing symptoms again, you may want to visit your doctor for more treatment.

Watch Your Sinus Issues Float Away

Sinus issues are a burden that you no longer have to face, thanks to the brilliant technology behind balloon sinuplasty. With this minimally invasive procedure, you’ll experience a happier lifestyle without constant nose-blowing and sinus pain.
