Adjunctive Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Surgical Recovery

Surgical healing depends on adequate oxygen delivery, circulation, and tissue repair. In some patients, recovery may be delayed due to inflammation, compromised blood flow, or reduced tissue oxygenation.

At OxygenWell, we offer adjunctive Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) as supportive care for individuals recovering from surgical procedures, including reconstructive and cosmetic surgery, when clinically appropriate.
‍
This service is designed to support the body’s natural healing processes and does not replace surgical follow-up or medical care.

Why Surgical Tissues May Struggle to Heal

Following surgery, tissues may experience:

  • Temporary ischemia (reduced blood flow)
  • Impaired angiogenesis (nInflammation and edemaew blood vessel formation)
  • Increased metabolic demand
  • Disruption of microcirculation
  • Delayed oxygen diffusion

When oxygen delivery is insufficient, wound healing and tissue repair may be prolonged.

How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy May Support Surgical Recovery

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy involves breathing 100% oxygen under increased atmospheric pressure, increasing the amount of oxygen dissolved in the blood plasma. As adjunctive support following surgery, HBOT may help by:

Enhancing oxygen delivery to healing tissues
Supporting angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation)
Reducing inflammation and tissue swelling
Supporting collagen production and wound repair
Improving overall tissue oxygenation

HBOT is commonly used alongside standard post-operative care, not as a replacement.

Reconstructive & Cosmetic Surgery Support

In certain cases, patients recovering from reconstructive or cosmetic procedures may experience delayed healing, compromised tissue perfusion, or increased inflammation. Adjunctive hyperbaric support may be considered for:

  • Post-surgical tissue stress
  • Areas of poor circulation
  • Delayed wound healing
  • High-risk surgical sites

When medically indicated, HBOT may help support tissue viability and recovery under physician guidance.

Who May Be a Candidate

Adjunctive hyperbaric support may be considered for patients who:

  • Are recovering from surgery
  • Have delayed healing or increased inflammation
  • Are at higher risk for tissue compromise
  • Have been referred by a physician or surgeon

A medical review is required prior to initiating care.
