Sinus Surgery New Orleans

Immediate Relief from Sinusitis

Sinusitis is an extremely bothering condition mainly causing facial fullness, stuffiness and runny nose, a reduced sense of taste or smelling, pressure and pain sensation in the face especially when the patient tries to lean forward. New Orleans Sinus Center’s specialists advise patients with chronic sinusitis to research properly the available treatment options, before undergoing invasive surgery. There is now available a non invasive, in office procedure called Ballon Sinuplasty.

The doctor introduces a balloon into the sinus opening and then dilates the sinus opening. The sinus pathways are dilated, allowing the sinus to drain naturally. Medical therapy for sinusitis usually consists of antibiotics, steroids, and decongestants. However, in case of chronic sinusitis these medical measures work only temporarily, and stuffiness, pain and discomfort can quickly reappear. The underlying drainage problem is not resolved with medications. Ballon sinuplasty allows the patient to correct the underlying cause of the sinus symptoms.

Ballon Sinuplasty requires a minimal recovery time. In general, patients resume normal activities within 24 hours. With this technique the entire anatomy of the sinuses is reshaped. If you want clear passageways, and get rid of all the headaches, stuffiness and general malaise, then Ballon Sinuplasty might be the perfect treatment option for you.
