Balloon Sinus Dilation
Balloon sinus dilation is an excellent option for individuals who suffer from regular sinus ailments. Recurrent infections, sinus pain, face pain and headaches are all symptoms of congested sinus cavities. These cavities can be safely drained, reducing the recurrence of ailments and providing you with long lasting, much-needed relief. At Total ENT Care, we provide the in-office services you need to live comfortably again. The benefits of balloon sinus dilation include:
- Long-term relief
- Minimal down time and recovery time
- Increased air flow in nasal passages
- Promotes draining and natural healing
- Decrease in headaches
- Non-invasive procedure done under local anesthesia
The Procedure
Under local anesthesia, your doctor can slide an inflatable tube into your nasal passages. When the balloon is inflated, it provides your doctor with the opportunity to drain your nasal passages using a sterile saline solution. This balloon helps open the sinus passages, decreasing the risk of your condition returning.
Chronic Sinus Conditions Eliminated
If over the counter and prescription sinus medications are unable to provide you effective sinus pain relief, balloon sinuplasty may be the solution for you. Total ENT Care offers balloon sinuplasty which is a non-invasive treatment option for individuals suffering from many chronic sinus conditions. This procedure doesn’t simply treat your symptoms; it helps reshape your nasal passages, effectively eliminating the chances of continued problems. Reshaping nasal passages helps increase air flow and drainage for your sinuses, decreasing the chance of buildup. You may be a candidate for balloon sinuplasty if:
- You suffer from chronic sinus headaches
- You suffer from regular facial and sinus pain
- You experience repeat sinus infections that don’t seem to respond to medication
- You are regularly dizzy and disoriented as a result of sinus pressure

Balloon Sinuplasty
After local anesthesia, your physician will position and inflate the balloon to dilate the treatment area. Then, the balloon will be gently removed. The balloon dilation expands the sinus pathways to restore drainage.
