Why Choose Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) After Plastic Surgery in NYC?

Recovering from plastic surgery in New York City can be enhanced with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), a treatment that delivers 100% pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber. This process increases oxygen levels in the blood, promoting faster healing and reducing post-operative complications.

Benefits of HBOT After Plastic Surgery:

Accelerated Healing: HBOT enhances tissue repair by increasing oxygen delivery, leading to quicker recovery times.
Reduced Swelling and Bruising: The therapy helps minimize inflammation, resulting in less discomfort and faster return to daily activities.
Lower Risk of Infection: By boosting the body’s immune response, HBOT decreases the likelihood of post-surgical infections.
Improved Scar Appearance: Enhanced oxygenation supports better collagen formation, leading to more aesthetically pleasing scars.

Incorporating Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy into your post-plastic surgery recovery plan in NYC can significantly enhance healing, reduce complications, and improve overall outcomes. Consult with your surgeon to determine if HBOT is suitable for your recovery process.

When Should You Start HBOT?

Dr. Wiser recommends beginning oxygen therapy within 48–72 hours after surgery for maximum benefit. However, HBOT can still be effective even weeks later—especially for lingering swelling, bruising, or fatigue.

A Reconstructive Microsurgery Fellowship at Lenox Hill Hospital, specializing in aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery.
A Lymphedema Surgery Fellowship at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

He also holds a PhD in Epidemiology and Public Health from the Sackler School of Medicine in Israel. This advanced academic background allows him to critically evaluate emerging medical technologies and treatments, including HBOT, through the lens of science and evidence-based medicine.

Scientific studies have shown that HBOT increases oxygen concentration in plasma, stimulates the release of growth factors, reduces inflammation, and enhances cellular repair. The treatment is FDA-approved for specific medical conditions and is widely used in sports medicine for off-label benefits related to recovery and performance.
