Balloon Sinus Surgery
Balloon Sinuplasty in NJ is a practical and trusted solution for those suffering through sinusitis and not responding to other medications and are experiencing a sinus infection. This procedure has evolved into one of the most elegant advancements in treating chronic and reoccurring sinusitis. Unlike traditional sinus surgery, Balloon Sinuplasty requires no cutting and no removal of bone and tissue. Dr. Monica Tadros specializes in balloon sinuplasty at her
facial plastic surgery center in NJ or NYC to restructure the sinuses and help patients with breathing problems. Using technology similar to cardiac balloon catheterization, the sinuses can be entered through the nostrils and permanently dilated to relieve sinus pressure, pain, headache and infection without traditional endoscopic sinus surgery.
Balloon Sinuplasty In Depth
Balloon Sinuplasty in New York and New Jersey is offered to correct sinus blockage. The sinuses are the airways for oxygen to travel to the brain during the developmental stages into our adult lives. They are covered with a mucous lining that contains tiny hairs called cilia that sweep the sinuses clean. Each sinus has an opening that is usually only a few millimeters in size, allowing mucous to drain and debris to be cleared. Chronic inflammation, scar tissue or polyps may block the natural flow, prevent normal sinus circulation, and cause sinus pressure, pain or infections.
What are the common symptoms of sinusitis?
Common symptoms include:
- Facial pain, pressure, congestion or fullness
- Nasal obstruction or blockage
- Discharge of discolored mucus from the nose
- Discolored post-nasal drainage
- Loss of smell
- Headache
- Fatigue
Where are our sinuses located and what symptoms may occur with sinus blockage or unhealthy sinuses?
We Have Four Paired Paranasal Sinuses:
1. Maxillary sinuses are behind the cheekbone and facial pain in this area may also radiate to the teeth or ears.
2. Frontal sinuses are in the forehead region.
3. Ethmoid sinuses are between the eyes. Facial pain or pressure in these sinuses may radiate to the forehead or eyes.
4. Sphenoid sinuses are in the center of the skull and may cause pain radiating to the top and back of the head. Because the sinuses drain into the back of the nasal cavity, symptoms may include nasal stuffiness and congestion. When the condition is severe, the eyes may fail to drain into the nose resulting in watery eyes. If the middle ears fail to drain into the nose, ear pressure, pain or dizziness may occur.
What is Balloon Sinuplasty?
Balloon nasal sinuplasty is a procedure designed to clear the sinuses. A small and flexible balloon catheter is inserted into your sinus and inflated to clear the sinus passage. The surgery involves no incisions or cutting of bone or tissue. Your sinuses are then cleared and you will feel relief from the pressure.
The procedure can be performed under local or general anesthesia.
