When congestion becomes more than just a cold

Chronic sinus issues affect millions of Americans, and most spend years cycling through sprays, antibiotics, and temporary fixes that never address the root cause. If this is your story, you're not alone.

Constant nasal congestion
Can't breathe through your nose, especially at night
Facial pressure & headaches
Pain around the eyes, forehead, or cheeks that won't quit
Recurring sinus infections
Multiple rounds of antibiotics each year with no lasting fix
Poor sleep & fatigue
Drainage and congestion disrupting your rest every night
Loss of smell & taste
Inflammation affecting your senses for weeks or months
The solution

A better way to open your sinuses

Balloon Sinuplasty is an FDA-cleared, minimally invasive procedure that gently opens blocked sinus passages with no cutting, no tissue removal, and no recovery week. For most patients, relief is immediate and lasting.

Unlike traditional sinus surgery, this procedure is typically performed in the office under local anesthesia, and most patients return to normal activity the same day or the next.

Procedure Flow
How It Works

A modern care path designed to make the next step clear.

1
A soft guide wire is gently inserted
We navigate a tiny, flexible catheter into the blocked sinus opening.
2
A small balloon is inflated
The balloon gently expands the sinus passage, restructuring the anatomy without cutting.
3
The balloon is removed
The sinus stays open. The passageway is clear. No tissue is removed.
4
You go home the same day
Most patients return to normal activity within 24 to 48 hours.
Why patients choose it

What changes when you can finally breathe

Breathe More Freely
Open nasal passages mean better airflow immediately and long-term. Most patients notice the difference within days.
Fewer Flare-Ups
By addressing the structural cause, most patients dramatically reduce the frequency and severity of sinus infections.
Minimal Downtime
No hospital stay. No packing. Most patients return to normal activities the next day, not the next month.
Move Beyond Temporary Fixes
Stop the cycle of sprays, antibiotics, and short-term solutions. This addresses the root cause structurally.

Common questions

Everything you need to know

Is Balloon Sinuplasty painful?

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so most patients experience minimal discomfort. Some describe a feeling of pressure during the balloon inflation, but not pain. Post-procedure, most patients take only over-the-counter pain relievers if needed.

How long does the procedure take?

Most in-office balloon sinuplasty procedures are completed in under an hour, though exact timing depends on your anatomy and treatment plan.

Will insurance cover it?

Coverage varies by plan and medical criteria. Most patients start with a consultation so the team can review candidacy, imaging, and likely insurance considerations.

How long do results last?

Results vary by patient, anatomy, and underlying disease, but the goal of balloon sinuplasty is to create a more durable improvement in sinus drainage than short-term medication cycles.

What happens during a balloon sinuplasty consultation?

During your consultation, Dr. Stein will review your sinus symptoms, examine your nasal passages, and discuss whether balloon sinuplasty may be appropriate for your situation.
