Balloon sinuplasty is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat chronic sinusitis. A small balloon is inserted into the sinus passage and gently inflated to open blocked sinuses. This improves airflow and drainage, reducing sinus pressure and infections without removing any bone or tissue. It’s safe, effective, and involves quicker recovery than traditional sinus surgery.
Balloon sinuplasty may be performed as a standalone treatment or combined with other sinus procedures like septoplasty. It can target different sinuses depending on the blockage—such as the maxillary, frontal, or ethmoid sinuses. The type of procedure chosen depends on the severity of the condition, symptoms, and exact location of the sinus obstruction.
Balloon sinuplasty is used when chronic sinusitis is caused by inflamed sinus tissue, nasal polyps, structural issues like a deviated septum, or infections. These conditions can block normal drainage and lead to pressure and pain. Balloon sinuplasty helps open blocked passages non-invasively, without removing tissue, allowing for easier breathing and better sinus health.
Patients with chronic sinusitis often experience symptoms like constant nasal congestion, pressure around the eyes or forehead, facial pain, difficulty breathing, and frequent sinus infections. If these symptoms persist for over 12 weeks and do not improve with medication, balloon sinuplasty may be the right treatment to restore proper sinus drainage and relief.
To determine if balloon sinuplasty is needed, ENT specialists conduct a physical examination, review medical history, and use diagnostic tools like nasal endoscopy and CT scans. These tests help identify blocked or inflamed sinuses. If chronic sinusitis does not improve with medications or other treatments, balloon sinuplasty may be recommended for long-term relief.
During the procedure, a balloon catheter is inserted into the blocked sinus through the nose. The balloon is then inflated to gently widen the sinus passage. Once the passage is opened, the balloon is deflated and removed, leaving the newly widened passage in place. The procedure restores normal sinus drainage and relieves symptoms effectively.
Consult a specialist if you notice ongoing symptoms despite treatment, which may indicate the need for balloon sinuplasty.
Frequent sinus infections despite medications could mean chronic blockage needing surgical intervention.
Constant facial discomfort around eyes, cheeks, or forehead may signal sinus drainage issues.
If nasal stuffiness doesn’t go away with medications, your sinuses might be blocked.
Chronic nasal breathing issues may need an internal solution like sinuplasty.
Sinus related headaches often result from pressure build-up in blocked sinuses.

No, it is generally painless and performed under local anesthesia. Patients usually feel pressure, but not sharp pain during the procedure.
Most patients recover within 1–2 days and return to normal activities quickly. There is minimal downtime with this procedure.
Many patients enjoy long-term relief. Some may require further treatment if symptoms return, but this is not common.
