Balloon Sinuplasty

What is a balloon sinuplasty?

BSP, or Balloon Sinuplasty, is a safe and effective sinus procedure for patients who may be suffering from moderate to severe sinusitis and need relief from sinus issues as well as sinus pain.

Non-invasive, with less downtime

Dr. Rollins, Balloon Sinuplasty Specialist and certified ENT, prefers to perform balloon sinuplasty in place of conventional surgery as it is far less invasive and does not require the same level of downtime or side effects. When performing a balloon sinuplasty there is no cutting of the nasal bone or any of the nasal tissues. Patients suffering from chronic sinusitis symptoms often prefer to be treated using balloon sinuplasty as a result.

Results and recovery time

While recovery time varies with each patient, recovery is typically fast — patients usually resume normal activities within a day or two. After the procedure patients will generally feel none of the previous symptoms of sinusitis. They will be breathing clearly and have a far better quality of life. As a balloon sinuplasty specialist, Dr. Rollins takes pride in the ability to help patients improve their quality of life with a 30-minute procedure.

How is it performed?

Balloon Sinuplasty uses a small, flexible balloon catheter to open up blocked sinus passageways and facilitate drainage of the mucus that builds up in patients suffering from chronic sinusitis symptoms.

Is a balloon sinuplasty right for you?

If you are a chronic sufferer of sinusitis, and suffer from common issues like sinus pressure or pain, you may be the perfect candidate. Dr. Rollins recommends this procedure to the majority of his patients with sinus issues — especially if you’re suffering from:

• Facial sinus pain

• Sinus headaches
• Yellow or green discharge from the nose
• Congestion
