Balloon sinuplasty is typically not painful, as it is performed using local anesthesia to numb the area. However, some people may experience mild discomfort or pressure during the procedure.
The procedure usually takes between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the number of sinuses being treated.
Most people can return to normal activities within a day or two after the procedure. However, it is recommended to avoid strenuous activities for at least a week after the procedure.
Balloon sinuplasty is generally considered safe, but as with any surgical procedure, there are some risks involved. Potential risks include bleeding, infection, and damage to surrounding structures.
The results of balloon sinuplasty can last for several years, but the duration of the results varies depending on the individual and the severity of their sinusitis.
Balloon sinuplasty is covered by many insurance plans, but coverage may vary depending on the individual plan and the specific circumstances of the case. It is important to check with your insurance provider to determine your coverage.
Yes, because it does not involve cutting or removing tissue, balloon sinuplasty complications are very rare. Unlike traditional sinus surgery, there is minimal risk of infection, bleeding, or other side effects. Most procedures are done in the doctor’s office under local anesthesia which significantly reduces balloon sinuplasty risks.

The Balloon Sinuplasty devices are FDA-cleared endoscopic catheter-based instruments specifically designed to be used in sinus surgery. The Sinus Balloon Catheter is gradually inflated to gently restructure the previously blocked sinus opening which restores normal sinus drainage without damaging the sinus.
Balloon sinuplasty recovery time is very quick and patients can typically return to all normal activities in 1 – 2 days as compared to the weeks or months of recovery from endoscopic sinus surgery. Traditional surgery also requires a doctor to tear off scabs to prevent scar tissue from blocking your airways. With sinuplasty, there is no cutting, bone removal, or scar tissue.
