PLASTIC SURGERY & HYPERBARICS

Many surgeons now recommend pre and/or postoperative HBOT to their patients to enhance their healing, recovery and improve results.

PLASTIC SURGERY & HYPERBARICS

Whether performed for cosmetic or reconstructive purposes, surgery can benefit from supportive therapies that promote healing. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), as a non-invasive option, may contribute to a more efficient recovery by enhancing the body’s natural healing processes and potentially reducing overall recovery time.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is gaining recognition in the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery for its potential to support post-surgical recovery. It has been shown to enhance wound healing, lower the risk of infection, and improve the viability of grafts and flaps used in reconstructive procedures.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) may also help minimize post-surgical bruising, swelling, inflammation, and discomfort. As a result, many surgeons now recommend HBOT before and/or after surgery to support the healing process, enhance recovery, and optimize overall outcomes.
