Balloon Sinuplasty

What Is Balloon Sinuplasty?

Here’s how it works:

  • A small, flexible balloon catheter is inserted into the sinus passage.
  • The balloon is gently inflated, helping to restructure and open the passage.
  • The balloon is then deflated and removed — leaving the sinus passage open to promote normal drainage.

Because no cutting or tissue removal is involved, many patients experience less bleeding and faster recovery compared to traditional sinus surgery.

Who Might Benefit from Balloon Sinuplasty?

Balloon sinuplasty may be an option for adults who have:

  • Chronic sinus infections that last for weeks or keep coming back
  • Facial pressure or nasal congestion that doesn’t respond to medication
  • Trouble breathing through the nose due to inflammation or blockage
  • Frequent use of antibiotics or nasal sprays with limited improvement

A professional evaluation can help determine whether balloon sinuplasty or another treatment may best support your sinus health.

In-Office Comfort and Recovery

At Wright Sinus Choice, balloon sinuplasty is typically performed right in our McAllen office under local anesthesia.

The procedure usually takes less than an hour, and most patients can return to normal activities within a day or two.

Our team takes every step to make the experience as comfortable as possible — from numbing medication before the procedure to clear aftercare guidance.

Benefits of Balloon Sinuplasty

While individual results vary, balloon sinuplasty may offer:

  • Reduced sinus pressure and congestion
  • Improved nasal breathing and drainage
  • Fewer sinus infections
  • Less downtime compared to traditional surgery

It’s a safe, office-based approach that focuses on restoring natural sinus function rather than removing tissue.
