Recovery
Hyperbaric Protocol
Hyperbaric oxygen used in select cases to support healing and tissue oxygenation.
Overview
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) delivers 100% oxygen at increased atmospheric pressure, raising the dissolved oxygen content in plasma.
It is used in select recovery and revision plans where tissue oxygenation, healing, or graft survival is a priority.
How it Works
- The patient breathes pressurized oxygen inside a hyperbaric chamber for a defined session length.
- The protocol — number, frequency, and timing of sessions — is matched to the surgical plan.
- It is coordinated with the rest of recovery: nutrition, garments, lymphatic care, and follow-up.
Where it Helps
- — Revision body contouring with compromised tissue from prior surgery
- — Selected fat-graft recovery scenarios
- — Cases where oxygen delivery is a meaningful variable in healing
Honest Limits
- — HBOT is an adjunct, not a substitute for sound surgical planning.
- — It is recommended only when the clinical picture supports its use.
Used In
Treatments that use this technology
Revision Body Contouring
Restorative correction of prior liposuction or BBL — careful, anatomical, and conservative.
Brazilian Butt Lift
Anatomical fat transfer planned around proportion and projection — never volume for its own sake.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
Abdominoplasty with muscle repair, refined contour, and discreet scar planning.
Mommy Makeover
Combined body and breast procedures, sequenced around safety and recovery.
