Cover Story: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment that involves the inhalation of 100% oxygen at a pressure greater than sea level atmospheric pressure. In recent years, hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been used in plastic surgery to promote healing, reduce the risk of complications, and improve outcomes.
HBOT is especially useful in post-operative wound healing, as it can improve the healing process, reduce swelling, and prevent infections by increasing blood flow and oxygen supply to the tissue.
While HBOT has shown promise in plastic surgery, it is important to use it under the supervision of a qualified medical professional, as there are risks associated with HBOT.  However, when used properly, HBOT can significantly improve patient outcomes in plastic surgery, and further research is warranted to prove its effectiveness in this field.
