Balloon sinuplasty is a practical and trusted solution for those suffering from 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 sinus dilation at her facial plastic surgery center in New Jersey 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.
Dr. Tadros accepts most POS and PPO insurances for any medical issues related to the nose as an out-of-network provider. Please contact us today or call NYC: (212) 532-4590 or NJ: (201) 408-5430.
Balloon sinuplasty 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 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?

Balloon Sinuplasty (also known as Balloon Sinus Dilation & Sinus Balloon Procedure) 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.
