This inflammation of the sinuses occurs when the sinus opening becomes blocked, preventing mucus from draining properly. It causes cold-like symptoms that include congestion, runny nose, sore throat, facial pain and swelling, loss of smell or taste, bad breath, fatigue and headache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is most often caused by viral infections, but can also occur as a result of nasal polyps, a deviated septum or head trauma. Medical solutions work for some, but others continue to suffer despite numerous attempts using a variety of treatments. Balloon Sinuplasty may be the answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1280\" height=\"390\" src=\"https:\/\/masdonent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/iStock-608634808-e1588089700896-1280x390.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-723\" srcset=\"https:\/\/masdonent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/iStock-608634808-e1588089700896-1280x390.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/masdonent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/iStock-608634808-e1588089700896-768x234.jpg 768w, https:\/\/masdonent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/iStock-608634808-e1588089700896-1536x468.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/masdonent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/iStock-608634808-e1588089700896.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s Different About Balloon Sinuplasty?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Conventional sinus surgical procedures involve cutting and excision of bone and tissue, a process that may cause pain and scarring and requires a recovery period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In comparison, Balloon Sinuplasty is quick (the average operating time is 73 minutes) and relatively painless, and has a lower risk of complications or side effects. It is FDA-approved and considered a safe alternative to endoscopic sinus surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Is Balloon Sinuplasty Performed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Balloon Sinuplasty is typically performed in an outpatient setting. You\u2019ll be given either a local or general anesthetic before a balloon catheter is inserted into your sinus cavity. The balloon is then inflated in order to enlarge the sinus opening and widen the walls of the nasal passages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A saline solution is sprayed into the cavity to flush out mucus and other debris; the catheter is then removed. The end result is open sinuses that enable normal breathing and drainage of fluids. Up to 95 percent of patients report a significant improvement in sinus symptoms following this procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are interested in Balloon Sinuplasty, speak with your doctor or an ENT specialist. A qualified physician will take a look at your medical history and help you determine which sinus treatment options are best for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Videos from Dr. Masdon on Pre and Post Op Care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preparing For Balloon Sinus Dilation Procedure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/app.vidscrip.com\/vidscrip\/621eb4be84b0c9001f3c376a?fullscreen=1\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">After You Balloon Sinus Dilation Procedure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/app.vidscrip.com\/vidscrip\/621eb70b84b0c9001f3c3ac3?fullscreen=1\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p><p>Call <span class=\"company-name \">Masdon ENT &amp; Facial Plastic Surgery<\/span> at <a href=\"tel:+12565718450\" class=\"phone \"> <span class=\"phNum\">(256) 571-8450<\/span><\/a> for more information or to schedule an appointment.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re suffering from chronic sinusitis and have exhausted your treatment options, you may be a candidate for Balloon Sinuplasty.
