If you suffer from persistent sinus pressure, or have frequent bouts of sinusitis, relief may be as simple as a minimally invasive procedure known as balloon sinus dilation. During this procedure, a flexible balloon catheter is used to gently
dilate the natural sinus openings. This opens
the blocked sinus passageways, which allows normal aeration and drainage of the sinuses, and relief of the chronic pressure and infection. This technique can provide relief with less pain and recovery time compared to more traditional sinus surgeries. This procedure can even be performed in Dr. Leatherman’s office, avoiding the extra cost and inconvenience of a surgery performed in an operating room.
At the Coastal Sinus and Allergy Center, Dr. Leatherman can evaluate your specific problems and develop a comprehensive treatment plan that best suits your specific needs. We invite you to call today to arrange an appointment, and together we can help you make relief a reality.
