    The term “sinus specialist” isn't a formal medical title, but sinus conditions are treated by an ENT (ear, nose and throat surgeon). ENT surgeons complete a medical degree followed by specialist training through the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons, managing conditions affecting the nose, sinuses and the head and neck region.

    In everyday language, patients may use “sinus specialist” to describe an ENT surgeon with special expertise in managing sinus concerns, including procedures such as septoplasty or turbinate reduction when structural narrowing affects breathing.
