Balloon Sinuplasty in New England

Chronic sinus infections can leave you feeling tired, congested, and frustrated—especially when medications only provide temporary relief. If you’ve tried antibiotics, nasal sprays, and rinses without improvement, you may be wondering if surgery is your only option.

At New England Breathe Free, we offer balloon sinuplasty, a minimally invasive treatment that may help open blocked sinuses and improve drainage—without the cutting, packing, or extended recovery time often associated with traditional sinus surgery.

What Is Balloon Sinuplasty?

Balloon sinuplasty is an in-office procedure designed for certain patients with chronic sinusitis or recurring sinus infections. Using a small, flexible balloon, your provider gently opens blocked sinus passages, which may allow trapped mucus to drain and reduce inflammation.

Because no tissue or bone is removed, the procedure is often more comfortable than traditional surgery, and recovery is typically faster.

Potential Benefits of Balloon Sinuplasty

Patients may consider balloon sinuplasty because it:

  • May provide symptom relief for certain chronic sinus sufferers
  • Can improve breathing by helping open blocked sinus passages
  • Is performed in-office under local anesthesia—no hospital stay required
  • Often has minimal downtime, with many patients returning to regular activities in a few days
  • Does not involve cutting or removal of tissue, which can make recovery easier for some patients

How the Procedure Works

  • Preparation: Local anesthesia is used to keep you comfortable.
  • Balloon insertion: A thin, flexible catheter with a balloon at the tip is guided into the blocked sinus passage.
  • Inflation: The balloon is gently inflated to widen the sinus opening.
  • Drainage supported: The balloon is removed, leaving the passage more open so mucus may drain.

The procedure usually takes less than an hour, and most patients can go home the same day.

Who May Be a Candidate?

Balloon sinuplasty may be recommended if you:

  • Have chronic sinusitis lasting 12 weeks or more
  • Experience multiple sinus infections each year
  • Have ongoing congestion, facial pressure, or post-nasal drip
  • Have not found relief from medications or other conservative treatments

During your consultation, we’ll review your symptoms, medical history, and imaging results to determine if balloon sinuplasty is appropriate for you.

Recovery and Results

Many patients are able to return to work or normal activities within a couple of days, though healing time varies. Some patients experience temporary congestion or drainage as their sinuses adjust. Individual outcomes differ, but many report improvements in breathing, frequency of infections, or sleep quality.

Find Out if Balloon Sinuplasty Is Right for You

You don’t have to continue struggling with the pressure, congestion, and fatigue of chronic sinus problems. New England Breathe Free offers balloon sinuplasty as one of several options for patients seeking relief without traditional surgery.
