Sinus Procedures with Balloon Sinuplasty

Balloon Sinuplasty (BSP) uses a small, flexible, balloon catheter to open up blocked sinus passageways and facilitate drainage of the mucus that builds up in patients suffering from chronic or recurrent acute sinusitis. When the sinus balloon is inflated, it restructures and widens the walls of the sinus passageway while maintaining the integrity of the sinus lining.

Unlike traditional sinus surgery, Balloon Sinuplasty requires no cutting and no removal of bone and tissue. Published clinical data shows that Balloon SInuplasty is safe and effective, and patients received statistically and clinically significant improvement in their sinusitis symptoms.1

Sinus Surgery Recovery

For the first three days following sinus surgery, patients should do a daily saline flush and refrain from blowing their noses. They should also limit activity in the first five days. After five days, if the septum is straightened, patients will have supportive splints added, which will be removed 5 days later. Regular activity and flying can resume after 2 weeks, but we recommend three weeks before resuming long-distance running or contact sports.

Most patients take regular Tylenol for post-op pain. There are no facial changes, nasal changes or external bruising with sinus or septal surgery.
