Eliminate frequent sinus infections with balloon sinuplasty
Living with chronic sinusitis means dealing with recurring infections that bring frustrating chronic sinusitis symptoms like facial pressure, sinus headaches, and sinus drainage that never seems to go away. If you're tired of the cycle of antibiotics and searching for an effective treatment for frequent sinus infections, balloon sinuplasty offers a minimally invasive solution.
Whether you're struggling with acute chronic sinusitis or other sinus and nasal conditions that lead to repeated infections, balloon sinuplasty in Houston can open blocked sinus passages and restore proper drainage to help prevent future infections — all in as little as 20 minutes with no incisions or tissue removal, delivering lasting relief so you can finally break free from the infection cycle.
“Dr. Kaplan is an outstanding surgeon and did an amazing job restoring my sinuses. The balloon sinuplasty that he is an expert in is the best procedure to correct your sinus problems. One month after my surgery, my sinuses are completely open. If you need sinus surgery, Dr. Kaplan is your best option hands down.”

How do you fix recurring sinus infections?
If you're experiencing three or more sinus infections per year, or symptoms that last longer than 12 weeks at a time, you're dealing with a chronic condition that requires more than just repeated rounds of antibiotics.
The key question then becomes: how often is too often for sinus infections? The answer is that any pattern of recurring infections signals an underlying problem with your sinus drainage that needs to be addressed. When your sinuses can't drain effectively, bacteria and inflammation build up, creating the perfect environment for infection after infection.
Problem areas like ethmoid sinusitis — where the small air cells between your eyes become inflamed — can trigger symptoms like facial pressure, sinus infection jaw pain, and persistent congestion that disrupt your daily life, especially if you've been battling chronic sinusitis for years.
Fixing recurring sinus infections requires addressing the underlying structural issues causing poor drainage, not just treating each infection as it occurs. Balloon sinuplasty is designed specifically for this purpose — by gently opening blocked sinus passages and restoring proper drainage, it helps prevent the conditions that allow infections to take hold in the first place.
Stop sinus infections sooner with balloon sinuplasty
Balloon sinuplasty is a non-invasive, in-office procedure that treats chronic sinusitis, sinus-related headaches, and other sinus-related symptoms, providing patients long-lasting relief from their frequent sinus infections. During the procedure, your ENT uses a tiny balloon to widen the nasal passageways, restore normal drainage, preventing infections and helping you to breathe better while relieving headaches and facial pressure.
It’s that simple. The best part? The procedure takes less than 20 minutes and most patients are back at work between 24 and 48 hours. Due to its quick and effective nature, balloon sinuplasty has become an increasingly attractive treatment for severe and frequent sinus infections.
