If you’re struggling with your sinuses, our team is here to help. To start, we’ll set up a consultation where our providers will be able to analyze your sinuses better and see what’s going on inside. We can then determine the best solution! At Northside ENT Specialists, we have several treatment options from medications to minimally- and non-invasive procedures that are both convenient and cost-effective.
A balloon sinuplasty, also called a balloon sinus dilation, is a long-lasting, more affordable alternative to sinus surgery. It is a non-invasive procedure that is done in the office, requires no general anesthesia, and is cost-effective. It has a high success rate and is known for its quick recovery time. If you have been told you or a loved one needs sinus surgery, we highly encourage patients to meet with our providers for a second opinion.
The nasal septum is the wall that divides the nose into the left and right nostrils. A deviated septum is when the nasal septum is displaced, often leaning to one side and making one of the nasal passages smaller. A deviated septum often leads to issues with breathing or other forms of nasal obstruction. A septoplasty is often the recommended treatment. It is a surgical procedure to straighten the bone and cartilage dividing the space between your nostrils (septum). This procedure includes a longer recovery time than the balloon sinuplasty, but it has a high success rate to help individuals with deviated septums breathe better faster.
Turbinate enlargement is one of the most common causes of nasal congestion and obstruction. The turbinate can become swollen and inflamed, leading to difficulty breathing through the nose. Our providers offer an in-office surgical procedure that improves breathing and provides long-term relief without the need for nasal sprays and medication.
