Balloon Sinuplasty - #7225

I’ve been dealing with chronic sinus infections for a while, and my doctor mentioned balloon sinuplasty as a possible treatment. I’ve never heard of this procedure before, so I want to understand exactly what it is and how it works. Is balloon sinuplasty an effective alternative to traditional sinus surgery? From what I read, balloon sinuplasty involves inserting a small balloon into the sinus passages and inflating it to open up the airways. But does this permanently fix sinus problems, or is it only a temporary solution? How long do the results typically last? I also saw that balloon sinuplasty is considered a minimally invasive procedure. Does that mean there’s no cutting or tissue removal involved? How does it compare to other sinus surgeries in terms of recovery time, pain, and effectiveness? Another thing I’m wondering about is whether balloon sinuplasty is safe for everyone. Can people with severe sinus issues, nasal polyps, or a deviated septum still benefit from this procedure? Are there any risks, like bleeding or infection, that people should be aware of? For those who have had balloon sinuplasty, what was your experience like? Did it provide long-term relief, or did you need additional treatments later? I just want to know if it’s worth considering as an option for chronic sinus problems.
