I’ve had this procedure done twice. The first time was painless. The 2nd time both nostrils were blocked & I felt some pain. To get my sense of taste & smell back…I’ll do it again.
So he mentioned how he should feel in a week, and a month. Where is the follow-up video from one week later, and the follow-up video from one month later, from this doctor to tell us just exactly how he really did feel the next day, a week later, and a month later. It's a great video but I'm left wondering how did he really feel one week later, what did he really notice?
Great question! I'll follow up with the doctor later this week and give you an update. In the meantime, you can watch every step of Andy's journey, including his in-office balloon sinuplasty and several updates afterward, on our website here: ecs.page.link/oAqyN.
In many cases, yes. It depends on what type of procedures were previously performed and the current state of the intranasal and sinus anatomy. A complete evaluation would be required to determine if an additional turbinate reduction is the best and safest way to resolve the issues one is experiencing.
I'm having this done in a few months, and first thing I asked if local anthesetic they used had adrenaline in it and he said no! I'm from the UK so getting it done free on the NHS. Do you use adrenaline in your local anthesetic??
Great question! We typically administer epinephrine (adrenaline) with local anesthetics to prolong their effect, but we can alter treatment based on individual patient characteristics and needs.
In-office balloon sinuplasty, combined with turbinate reduction, is extremely effective at opening up narrow airways without undergoing traditional surgery. A full evaluation of The Breathing Triangle®, including endoscopic examination and CT imaging, would determine if you are a good candidate for these procedures.

In addition to letting him finally tolerate CPAP treatment for his sleep apnea, these in-office procedures gave him relief from the alternating congestion at night that he'd struggled with for decades.
While balloon sinuplasty and turbinate reduction can be performed in-office with local anesthetics, a septoplasty would require surgery in an operating room. They can be done together, but if a septoplasty is involved, it has to be in the OR.

If only Morgan Freeman could narate one of these
Can turbinate reduction be done again.

Is it hurt injecfion part?
Thanks to the topical anesthetics, patients don't usually feel any pain during the injections.

can you do a septoplasty with the balloon sinuplasty? as well as turbinate reduction?@@ADVENTknows
