How Balloon Sinuplasty Can Help You

Dealing with constant sinus infections and a blocked nose can be difficult and can make it hard to just function in your daily life. Certain medications that you might take to unblock your sinuses can make you drowsy and make it hard to focus at work or on tasks. For some people, the only way to unblock sinuses is with the use of balloon sinuplasty. Dr. Robert Youkilis, Dr, Jeffrey Beach, and Dr. Seth Bruggers at Northside ENT in Carmel, IN, can explain what a balloon sinuplasty is and how it can help open up your sinuses and help you breathe easily again.

How Balloon Sinuplasty Can Help You

Balloon sinuplasty from your ENT doctor in Carmel, IN, is a minimally-invasive technique used to relieve symptoms of sinus infections that can’t be treated with oral medications alone. Instead of suffering from chronic sinusitis, a balloon sinuplasty gives you the chance to breathe naturally and open up the natural drainage pathways.

During a balloon sinuplasty, your doctor will insert a soft catheter with a small balloon attached into the nose. Once it reaches the sinuses, the balloon will be inflated and the sinus cavities will be opened up. The procedure is done on an outpatient basis, so you’ll be able to go home that same day.

It’s important that you avoid blowing your nose for 24 hours and you’ll be able to return to work within a few days. You should also be sure to sleep with your head elevated and follow all instructions given to you by your doctor.
