About Balloon Sinuplasty

Balloon Sinuplasty is a minimally invasive, endoscopic procedure performed by an ENT specialist to treat chronic sinusitis that has not responded to medication. Using a small, flexible catheter with a tiny balloon, the surgeon gently dilates blocked sinus openings to restore normal drainage without removing bone or tissue. This FDA-approved technique is often performed in-office or as an outpatient surgery, offering significant relief from facial pain, pressure, and congestion. It typically results in less bleeding, reduced post-operative pain, and a faster recovery compared to traditional sinus surgery, making it a preferred option for suitable patients seeking long-term sinus symptom relief.

PATIENT REVIEW

I was a total wreck before...

I was a total wreck before my appointment. First time seeing a doctor on my own and I was convinced it was something serious. Dr. Muthusamy just had this calm way about him. He listened to all my jumbled-up worries, did a quick check, and explained everything in a way that actually made sense. Walked out feeling silly for being so nervous, but mostly just relieved.
