How Blocked Is Your Nose?
Rate each symptom over the past month. This quick 5-question screening helps determine if you could benefit from an evaluation.
Based on the NOSE scale (Stewart MG, et al. Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg, 2004). This screening tool is not a diagnosis — only a clinical evaluation can confirm nasal obstruction.
Balloon Sinuplasty — Breathe Easier Without Traditional Surgery
Despite trying a host of medications and treatments, do you still experience constant, painful sinus problems? Balloon sinuplasty could be the solution you've been seeking. This minimally invasive in-office procedure gently opens blocked sinus passages — with little pain and a fast recovery.
Dr. Wassmuth was the first physician in Austin to perform this procedure and has performed more balloon sinuplasty procedures than any other Austin ENT.

Balloon Sinuplasty
A minimally invasive in-office procedure to open blocked sinus passages — no cutting, no packing, rapid recovery.
Balloon sinuplasty uses a small, flexible balloon catheter to open blocked sinus passageways and facilitate drainage. Unlike traditional surgery, it doesn't remove bone or tissue. Most patients return to normal activity within 24–48 hours.
Learn MoreEndoscopic Sinus Surgery
Advanced surgery to treat chronic sinusitis without the pain and complications of older techniques.
Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) can now be performed without the pain and complications of previous sinus surgeries. Using a tiny camera and specialized instruments, our surgeons remove blockages while preserving healthy tissue.
Learn MoreSeptoplasty
Correcting a deviated septum using cutting-edge techniques — no harsh packing, faster recovery.
We utilize cutting-edge surgical techniques to correct the nasal septum without the need for nasal packing. This reduces pain, discomfort, and recovery time significantly. Most patients notice improved breathing almost immediately.
Learn MoreTurbinate Reduction
A minimally invasive treatment to reduce nasal obstruction, chronic congestion, and sinus pressure.
Often used together with other procedures, turbinate reduction eliminates chronic sinus pain and pressure, headaches, nasal congestion, and sleep disorders. The minimally invasive procedure reduces the size of the turbinate bones to open nasal passages.
