Sinusitis, often called a sinus infection, occurs when the sinuses become inflamed or infected due to viruses, bacteria, fungi, or allergens. This condition can significantly disrupt your daily life, causing symptoms such as facial pain or pressure, nasal congestion, headaches, fatigue, and difficulty breathing. The impact can range from mild discomfort to severe debilitation, affecting your ability to work, sleep, and enjoy everyday activities.
If you experience persistent symptoms despite over-the-counter remedies or symptoms worsen over time, you should schedule a professional evaluation with Otolaryngology Plastic Surgery Associates.

You may need to visit us if you notice symptoms such as prolonged facial pain, green or yellow nasal discharge, fever, or worsening headaches.

Surgery for Sinusitis: When Is It Necessary and What To Expect
When sinusitis becomes chronic or severe, your ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist) may recommend surgery as a solution. Surgery is typically necessary when other treatments, like medications or nasal sprays, fail to provide relief. Surgery can alleviate symptoms, improve drainage, and restore normal sinus function.
Surgery for sinusitis is beneficial when you experience persistent symptoms such as facial pain, pressure, headaches, or difficulty breathing through your nose despite trying various treatments. At Otolaryngology Plastic Surgery we will assess your condition thoroughly through physical examination, imaging tests like CT scans, and possibly endoscopy to visualize your sinuses directly.
During the surgery, known as endoscopic sinus surgery, your ENT will use a thin, flexible tube with a camera (endoscope) to access and remove diseased tissue, polyps, or blockages in your sinuses. The procedure is typically minimally invasive and performed under general anesthesia. Recovery time varies, but you can expect some discomfort, swelling, and nasal congestion initially. However, most people find relief from their symptoms within a few weeks to months post-surgery.
