More than 30 million Americans suffer from Sinusitis, a chronic breathing problem that can greatly interfere with quality of life.
Sinuses are air-filled pockets behind the facial bones surrounding the nose. Each sinus has natural openings through which mucus drains. When these sinus openings become blocked, you suffer from sinusitis.
Balloon Sinuplasty can correct sinusitis with a minimally invasive, in-office procedure. With fast results, quick healing and full recovery typically in less than two days, Balloon Sinuplasty eliminates the trauma and downtime of traditional sinus surgery.

Sinusitis is characterized by the inflammation of the lining of the sinuses. The sinuses are located in the face and forehead, between the eyes.
Sinusitis typically causes pressure, tenderness and pain in the upper facial regions. Other common symptoms include post-nasal drip, congestion, a reduced sense of smell and taste and breathing problems. When sinusitis becomes a persistent problem, it is termed chronic sinusitis.
Balloon Sinuplasty is a minimally invasive, in-office surgical procedure designed to relieve the pain and pressure associated with chronic sinusitis.
Balloon sinuplasty uses a small, flexible balloon to open up the sinus passages. Performed in-office, it is minimally invasive, relatively painless and does not require general anesthesia. It has just a two-day recovery time.
With more than 375,000 patients treated, Balloon Sinuplasty is safe, effective and minimally invasive, with 96 percent of patients experiencing positive results.
After Balloon Sinuplasty, most patients can go home after a few hours and return to most regular activities after 24-48 hours. However, it’s generally advisable to avoid strenuous activities for at least a week.
