Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS)
A minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat severe sinus conditions. Using a thin telescope (endoscope) passed through the nostrils, the surgeon clears blocked sinus passages and restores natural drainage—leaving absolutely no external scars.

When is FESS Recommended?
FESS is the gold-standard treatment for patients who do not respond to medical therapy for:
Chronic Sinusitis
Severe sinus inflammation and infection lasting longer than 12 weeks.
Nasal Polyps
Non-cancerous, teardrop-shaped growths lining the nasal passages that block airflow.
Recurrent Sinus Infections
Frequent, painful sinus attacks that require constant antibiotics.
Sinus Headaches
Debilitating facial pressure and pain caused by trapped sinus mucus.

The Healing Process
Initial Recovery
Mild bloody discharge and nasal congestion (similar to a heavy cold) are expected. Dissolvable packing may be inside the nose.
Clearing the Passages
Patients begin daily saline nasal rinses to wash away crusts and promote healing. Breathing starts to noticeably improve.
Full Breathing Restored
Swelling completely subsides, revealing dramatically improved, clear, and effortless nasal airflow.
Life With Clear Sinuses
Deep Breaths
Breathe freely through your nose, day and night.
Restful Sleep
Stop mouth-breathing and snoring, waking up feeling truly rested.
End to Headaches
Eliminate the heavy, throbbing pressure behind your eyes and cheeks.
