If medications do not effectively relieve your symptoms, you may be a candidate for a procedure called Balloon Sinuplasty. During this minimally invasive surgery, a small balloon is placed inside of the nose to expand the sinus passages, which allows them to drain better. Recovery time is significantly shorter than with traditional <a href=\"https:\/\/collincountyent.com\/allergist\/sinus-surgery\/\">sinus surgery<\/a>, and the results are just as effective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Collin County ENT, we can determine if this procedure is a good fit for you and provide treatment that allows you to breathe easily as you do what matters most to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are You a Candidate for a Balloon Sinuplasty?<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"355\" height=\"355\" src=\"https:\/\/collincountyent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/balloon-sinuplasty.jpeg\" alt=\"Illustration of balloon sinuplasty device in sinus cavity\" class=\"wp-image-584\" title=\"Balloon Sinuplasty Procedure\" srcset=\"https:\/\/collincountyent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/balloon-sinuplasty.jpeg 355w, https:\/\/collincountyent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/balloon-sinuplasty-256x256.jpeg 256w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 355px) 100vw, 355px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The procedure is typically performed on adults who:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Have a mild <a href=\"https:\/\/collincountyent.com\/allergist\/sinusitis\/\">form of sinusitis<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not have nasal polyps or tumors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Can tolerate local anesthesia<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Does Balloon Sinuplasty Differ from Other Surgeries?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditional surgery in the sinus area involves cutting and excision of bone and tissue and typically comes with a recovery time of five days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Balloon Sinuplasty widens the openings of your sinus passageways without removing tissue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of this, it causes less pain and has an average recovery time of just a day and a half.&nbsp; The FDA-approved procedure has a lower risk of complications or side effects and does not leave visible scarring or bruising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Brief, Safe, Convenient<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A Balloon Sinuplasty procedure can be performed in our office, often in under 30 minutes.

The balloon is then inflated to expand the sinus opening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Can I Expect After a Balloon Sinuplasty?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You will likely be able to return home shortly after the procedure is finished.
