How Balloon Sinuplasty Works
Balloon sinuplasty is a minimally-invasive procedure that opens blocked sinus passages to help you breathe more easily.
A small balloon is placed inside the nose and gently inflated to widen the sinus openings, allowing trapped mucus and pressure to drain.
It’s a quick treatment with little recovery time and no cutting involved.
