Sinus Surgery in NYC
Sinus problems can make life in NYC feel even more draining than it needs to be.

NYC Sinus Surgery Specialist
Choosing a sinus surgery specialist in NYC is an important decision. You want someone who not only has experience, but who also takes the time to understand your specific needs. Dr. Monica Tadros uses detailed imaging, nasal endoscopy, and a thorough review of your medical history to understand exactly what’s happening inside your sinuses.
At our New York City office, you’ll have time to talk through your symptoms, review your test results, and discuss both medical and surgical options. Sinus surgery in NYC is only recommended when the evidence shows it’s likely to help. You’ll leave your consultation with a clear understanding of why surgery is or isn’t the right next step, and what you can realistically expect from treatment.
Before and After
Sinus Surgery
Before sinus surgery, many NYC patients live with symptoms that seem to cycle endlessly: congestion, facial pressure, sinus headaches, post-nasal drip, and repeated courses of antibiotics that provide only temporary relief. These symptoms can interfere with your work, social life, and sleep, especially when you’re constantly on the go in New York City.
If you're experiencing the following symptoms and medications no longer provide relief, it may be time to explore surgical options. Dr. Monica Tadros specializes in evaluating the full spectrum of sinus and nasal disorders to determine the most effective treatment for lasting relief.
- Persistent nasal congestion or obstruction
- Facial pressure or pain, especially around the eyes and cheeks
- Decreased or lost sense of smell and taste
- Postnasal drip or chronic throat clearing
- Frequent headaches centered around the forehead or eyes
- Difficulty breathing through the nose, especially at night
- Fatigue related to poor sleep or chronic infection
After sinus surgery, most patients notice gradual but meaningful improvements. As swelling goes down and your sinuses heal, it typically becomes easier to breathe through your nose, and infections often become less frequent and less severe. While results vary, the goal of sinus surgery in NYC is a more open, better-functioning sinus system that supports your day-to-day life. Follow-up visits with Dr. Monica Tadros help ensure your sinuses are healing properly and that your nasal care routine supports long-term success.
What To Expect With Sinus Surgery in NYC
Sinus surgery in NYC usually begins with a comprehensive evaluation at our New York City office. This may include imaging such as a CT scan and an endoscopic exam to map the sinus anatomy and identify areas of blockage or inflammation. Once a diagnosis and plan are in place, Dr. Monica Tadros will walk you through the procedure in clear, straightforward terms.
Most sinus surgery procedures in NYC are performed using minimally invasive endoscopic techniques. This means the surgery is done through the nostrils with no external incisions. You’ll receive anesthesia to keep you comfortable during the procedure, and in most cases, you’ll go home the same day. After surgery, you can expect congestion, mild bleeding, and a pressure-like sensation for several days. You’ll receive detailed instructions on saline rinses, medication, activity restrictions, and follow-up appointments in New York City so you know exactly how to care for yourself as you recover.
Conditions That May Require Sinus Surgery
- Chronic sinusitis: Long-term inflammation of the sinus lining that lasts 12 weeks or longer despite treatment.
- Recurrent acute sinusitis: Multiple episodes of sinus infection in a single year.
- Nasal polyps: Benign growths in the nasal or sinus passages that can cause obstruction and reduce airflow.
- Deviated nasal septum or structural abnormalities: Conditions that impair proper sinus drainage and ventilation.
- Mucoceles or sinus cysts: Fluid-filled sacs that can block sinus pathways and lead to pressure or infection.
- Fungal sinus infections: More severe and often resistant to medical therapy.
