If you’re dealing with recurring sinus infections, pressure, and congestion—and medications aren’t cutting it—Balloon Sinuplasty could be a safe, in-office option that helps restore natural sinus drainage with minimal downtime. At Accent Sinus Center, we take a patient-first approach to treating chronic sinus issues. Many patients report breathing more easily and sleeping better following treatment, though individual results may vary.
Balloon Sinuplasty
A Minimally Invasive Option That May Offer
Lasting Sinus Relief for Eligible Patients
What Is Balloon Sinuplasty?
Balloon Sinuplasty is an FDA-cleared procedure that gently opens blocked sinus passages to promote natural drainage and reduce pressure. Unlike traditional sinus surgery, it requires no cutting, stitches, or tissue removal.
Using a soft, flexible balloon device inserted through the nostrils, the procedure expands the sinus openings and clears built-up mucus or debris. It’s a safe, low-downtime solution performed in-office with local anesthesia.
Is Balloon Sinuplasty Right for You?
This treatment may be appropriate if:
- You’ve had persistent sinus pressure or congestion for 12+ weeks
- Medications like decongestants, sprays, or antibiotics haven’t helped
- You experience repeated sinus infections or chronic inflammation
- Breathing through your nose feels restricted or difficult
- You want relief without the downtime of traditional surgery
We’ll always begin with a thorough ENT consultation to understand your history and recommend the best treatment path for your needs.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Balloon Sinuplasty typically takes 30–60 minutes and is performed right in our office.
Step-by-step:
- Local Anesthesia: We numb the treatment area to ensure your comfort.
- Balloon Placement: A small balloon device is guided into the blocked sinus using a specialized scope.
- Dilation & Irrigation: The balloon is gently inflated to open the sinus pathway and flush out mucus or bacteria.
- Removal: Once expanded, the balloon is deflated and removed—no cutting or packing required.
Most patients return to work and regular activity within a day or two.
Benefits of Balloon Sinuplasty
- Minimally invasive: No scalpels or incisions
- Quick recovery: Resume normal activities in 24–48 hours
- In-office convenience: No hospital stay needed
- Long-term relief: Improved breathing and reduced sinus infections

Balloon Sinuplasty is cleared by the FDA and supported by clinical research, including peer-reviewed studies documenting safety and effectiveness for appropriate patients.1
