Is Balloon Sinuplasty Permanent?

Q: Is Balloon Sinuplasty Permanent?

The physical widening of the sinus opening is generally permanent. The inflated balloon micro-fractures the delicate bones in the sinus cavity, reshaping them to keep the airway open. However, the procedure does not cure underlying conditions like severe allergies or nasal polyps. If you have chronic environmental triggers, you may still experience occasional sinus inflammation, though it is usually much easier to manage after the procedure.
