Are you tired of battling recurring sinus infections or struggling to breathe through your nose? At Augusta Breathe Free, we offer balloon sinuplasty—a minimally invasive procedure designed to help open blocked sinus passages and improve airflow without the need for traditional surgery.
What is Balloon Sinuplasty?
Balloon sinuplasty is an FDA-cleared procedure that gently opens sinus passageways using a small, flexible balloon device. This restores normal drainage and may reduce symptoms associated with chronic sinusitis.
The process is similar to clearing a clogged pipe:
- A small balloon is inserted into the blocked sinus passage
- The balloon is carefully inflated to open the passage
- Once expanded, the balloon is deflated and removed, leaving the sinus open
This helps promote better airflow and reduces the likelihood of future infections.
What to Expect During the Procedure
- Designed for comfort with a quick, simple in-office experience
- Minimally invasive: no cutting or tissue removal
- Typically completed in about an hour
- Most patients return home the same day
Who May Benefit from Balloon Sinuplasty?
Balloon sinuplasty may be appropriate if you:
- Experience frequent or chronic sinus infections
- Feel constant facial pressure or sinus congestion
- Do not respond well to medications alone
- Are looking for a less invasive option than traditional sinus surgery
Your provider will assess your condition to determine if balloon sinuplasty is clinically appropriate for your case.
Recovery and Results
