What is Balloon Sinuplasty?
Balloon Sinuplasty is a state-of-the-art medical procedure used to treat chronic sinusitis and other related conditions. Unlike traditional sinus surgery, which often involves cutting or removing bone and tissue, this advanced technique is gentle and restorative.
Think of it as angioplasty for your nose. Just as cardiologists use balloons to open blocked arteries, Dr. Gupta uses a small, flexible balloon to gently open blocked sinus passageways. This restores your natural drainage pathways, providing long-term relief without the need for incisions or nasal packing.
How the Procedure Works
Dr. Gupta performs Balloon Sinuplasty right here at the California Face Institute, often under local anesthesia, ensuring your comfort throughout the process. We utilize advanced technology to ensure precision and safety every step of the way.
Here is what you can expect during the procedure:
- Locate: Dr. Gupta carefully guides a soft, flexible wire into the inflamed sinus cavity using a specialized light to visualize the blockage.
- Dilate: A small balloon is advanced over the wire and gently inflated. This restructure widens the sinus opening, reshaping the passageway.
- Relieve: The balloon is deflated and removed. The sinus remains open, allowing trapped mucus to drain and restoring normal airflow.
The entire process typically takes about an hour, and because it addresses the mechanical cause of the blockage, the results are often permanent.
