What Is Sinus Surgery?
At The Ocean Clinic Dermatology & Plastic Surgery, Dr. David R. Reinstadler specializes in functional nasal surgery and advanced sinus surgery in Newport Beach, CA, to help patients breathe easier and live better. As a double board-certified surgeon in both facial plastic and reconstructive surgery and otolaryngology—head and neck surgery, Dr. Reinstadler provides expert treatment for Orange County patients suffering from persistent sinus conditions.
Sinus surgery can have multiple purposes depending on patient need, such as to clear blockages within the sinus cavities and restore proper breathing function. Whether performed as functional nasal surgery to correct structural issues or as a chronic sinusitis treatment, this surgical intervention becomes necessary when conservative options fail to provide relief.
Good Candidates for Sinus Surgery
Ideal candidates for sinus surgery typically include patients who:
- Have chronic sinusitis that hasn’t responded to medication
- Experience recurring sinus infections
- Have been diagnosed with nasal polyps or tumors
- Suffer from structural abnormalities in their sinuses
- Have already tried conservative, non-surgical treatments without success
- Are in good overall health
- Have realistic expectations about the procedure’s outcomes
The Procedure
During sinus surgery, Dr. Reinstadler employs advanced techniques to access the sinus cavities through the nostrils, eliminating the need for external incisions. The procedure begins with the administration of appropriate anesthesia to ensure patient comfort. Using specialized instruments and imaging guidance, Dr. Reinstadler carefully removes blockages, repairs structural issues, and creates wider sinus openings to improve drainage and breathing.
The Recovery Process
After sinus surgery, patients can expect a recovery period that spans several weeks as the nasal and sinus tissues heal. During the initial phase, it’s normal to experience some congestion and mild discomfort, though these symptoms will gradually improve over time.
To ensure optimal healing, patients should maintain an elevated head position while sleeping and avoid strenuous physical activities for at least 1-2 weeks following the procedure. Dr. Reinstadler will provide specific post-operative instructions, including the proper use of prescribed medications, scheduling follow-up appointments, and temporarily avoiding blowing the nose.

How Much Does Sinus Surgery Cost?

During your consultation at The Ocean Clinic, our team will provide detailed information about the total price and discuss available financing options.
Sinus Surgery FAQ’s
While sinus surgery can significantly reduce the frequency and severity of sinus infections by improving drainage and correcting structural issues that contribute to chronic sinusitis, it cannot guarantee that you’ll never experience another sinus infection. The goal of the surgery is to provide substantial relief and make any future infections easier to treat.
Sinus surgery on its own is primarily focused on conditions involving the sinuses. However, Dr. Reinstadler frequently performs septoplasty surgery as a separate procedure or at the same time if necessary.
