Benefits of Balloon Sinuplasty

By inserting small balloons in key places in the nose and sinus cavities, we're able to dilate the sinuses. The results can be effective and long-lasting for patients who get no relief from medication. Benefits of this procedure include the following:

• Instant, lasting relief*+
• Convenient and comfortable in-office treatment^
• Quick recover – most patients return to normal activity in 24 hours#
• Potential for reduced medical costs
