Office sinus dilation is a minimally invasive option that can be performed by Dr. Alavi right here, in our offices. The goal of office sinus dilation is to reshape anatomy to expand sinus pathways and restore drainage. Here’s how it works:

How Balloon Sinuplasty Works

The procedure utilizes small balloons placed in key places in the nose and sinus, which are then dilated to expand the sinus pathways. It may be an effective, lasting option for some patients whose symptoms do not resolve with medication.

• The benefits of office sinus dilation include:
• Delivers instant, lasting relief
• Convenient, comfortable office procedure
