#sinuplasty

Dr. Tadros has performed hundreds of balloon sinus dilations at her offices in both New York and New Jersey.

Balloon sinuplasty is a procedure that helps clear blocked sinuses. Unlike traditional sinus surgery, balloon sinuplasty requires no cutting and no removal of bone and tissue. Using technology similar to cardiac balloon catheterization, the sinuses can be entered through the nostrils and permanently dilated to relive sinus pressure, pain, headache, and infection. You can see how simple the procedure is in the diagram below. The procedure does not entail a long recovery, can be done in-office, and can be likened to a dental procedure.

To find out if you are a candidate for balloon sinuplasty, schedule a consultation with Dr. Tadros.

Balloon Sinuplasty (BSP) 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.
