What is Recovery from Surgery?
Surgery recovery is the critical process your body undergoes to heal after a surgical procedure. Whether it’s orthopedic surgery, plastic surgery, or a complex internal operation, recovery involves tissue repair, reduction of inflammation, pain management, and avoiding complications like infections. This phase can be lengthy and challenging, but new advances in post-operative care, such as Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), offer significant benefits to help patients heal faster and more comfortably.
HBOT is a non-invasive treatment that delivers 100% pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber. This environment allows your lungs to absorb significantly more oxygen than normal. That oxygen-rich blood then helps stimulate tissue repair, reduce swelling, and fight bacteria—key factors that speed up recovery. At MD Hyperbaric, we specialize in using HBOT to support patients following all types of surgeries, from cosmetic to orthopedic surgery recovery and everything in between. Learn more about the specific healing powers of HBOT and how it’s helped patients in their recovery from plastic surgery.
By improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and enhancing cellular regeneration, HBOT can shorten healing time, minimize scarring, and lower the risk of post-surgical complications. Many patients report less pain, faster wound healing, and a greater sense of well-being during their recovery journey.
At MD Hyperbaric, our experienced team is dedicated to providing expert, compassionate care. We customize each treatment plan to fit your surgical recovery needs, making your path to healing smoother and more efficient. If you’re preparing for surgery or struggling with a slow recovery, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy may be the boost your body needs. Find a MD Hyperbaric location near you to learn how HBOT can help you recover better and faster—naturally.

You may be wondering, is post surgery HBOT treatment for me? Candidates for hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) after surgery often include patients with slow-healing wounds, poor blood supply, infections resistant to treatment, significant tissue damage, or grafts and flaps at risk of failure. HBOT is also beneficial for those recovering from plastic or reconstructive surgeries, helping reduce inflammation, speed healing, and minimize complications to improve overall surgical outcomes.
How Does HBOT Accelerate Recovery and Enhance Healing Post-Surgery?
So, how does HBOT therapy work when it comes to surgical recovery? Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) accelerates healing by using increased pressure to help the lungs absorb more oxygen than normal. This oxygen-rich blood reaches oxygen-deprived tissues, promoting new blood vessel growth, fighting bacteria, and stimulating healing through growth factors and stem cells. As a result, HBOT reduces swelling, speeds tissue repair, and supports a faster, less painful recovery after surgery.

The best! The team ensures that you’re safe and that you have a terrific experience - it’s so clean! I highly recommend for before and after any surgeries or for general wellness.
A wonderful experience! This was my first time ever trying HBOT, as I recently had surgery and received a recommendation to try it to help with the recovery process. I was a bit nervous at first with worries about how I would react to ear pressure changes, but I handled it very well with no problems at all. Killian the safety tech was top notch, going over every detail with me so I would both be comfortable and not anxious in any way. I felt comfortable the whole time. The pod is not claustrophobic at all to me, and I’m someone who gets a little nervous in MRI/CT machines. I was able to read and relax and felt great the whole time. I wound up signing up for a 5 package treatment to see how I do before going in to see my surgeon for a progress update. A top of the line experience, 10 stars!
Very efficient check-in with friendly staff. Tranquil experience and felt completely refreshed after one 1-hour session. Comfortable chambers with pillows and foam padding - felt very safe. Highly recommend for medical and/or recreational use.
MDHyperbaric is my lifeline! I was diagnosed with leukemia around a year ago, and I have a host of inflammatory issues that seem to cause brain fog & burning joint pain. The biggest impact that HB has had for my well being is a boost in cognition/ mental clarity- and a reduction in inflammation/ aching joints. I love the team at MDHyperbaric. MDH offer great bundles of which I’ll continue to take advantage. In summary- my quality of life has been boosted exponentially- & I’m committed to continuing this therapy for the rest of my life.
