Oxygen, On Purpose
At FusionMD in Coral Gables, hyperbaric oxygen therapy Miami is part of a modern recovery plan for cosmetic surgery patients. HBOT (short for hyperbaric oxygen therapy) places you in a pressurized hyperbaric oxygen chamber while you’re breathing pure oxygen. That rise in atmospheric pressure helps dissolve more oxygen into your plasma, delivering increased oxygen to the body’s tissues at levels not possible at sea level. The aim is simple: support the healing process, calm swelling, and help you feel ready for normal life sooner.
Our team includes surgeons and healthcare professionals with extensive experience in hyperbaric medicine, personalized care, and cosmetic recovery. Sessions are scheduled in a convenient location near central Miami and close to landmarks like HCA Florida Mercy Hospital.
Pressure Makes Oxygen Potent
Think of HBOT as an oxygen boost under controlled pressure. In the chamber, oxygen flow is steady, hyperbaric oxygen saturates your bloodstream, and tissues with higher demand—fresh incisions, areas of liposuction, or zones with bruising—receive a rich supply. That oxygen therapy supports cellular function, fuels tissue repair, and encourages new blood vessels to form, a process often linked to better wound healing and less lingering swelling.
HBOT is an established medical treatment for certain medical conditions. In hospitals, hyperbaric oxygen treatment is used for carbon monoxide poisoning, decompression sickness, arterial gas embolism, diabetic ulcers, and chronic wounds, and to support skin grafts that need help with blood circulation. In aesthetics, we apply similar science to support comfort and speed during cosmetic recovery.
After surgery, tissues are inflamed, delicate, and working hard to heal. Increased atmospheric pressure in hyperbaric chambers helps carry oxygen far beyond what hemoglobin alone can deliver. That surplus fuels skin cells, fibroblasts, and even stem cells, which are central to collagen production and tissue repair. The downstream therapeutic effects—better blood flow, less fluid retention, and steadier energy—line up with what most patients want in week one: faster recovery with minimal discomfort.
Patients often notice subtle shifts first: easier movement in garments, less discoloration, fewer tight areas along the lower extremities after body work. Many also report increased energy and clearer thinking as swelling settles and cellular function normalizes, which aligns with data showing HBOT may improve cognitive function in specific contexts.
Small Sessions, Big Healing
HBOT is painless, noninvasive, and pairs cleanly with your post-op plan.
Who Thrives?
Most healthy adults who’ve had cosmetic surgery—tummy tuck, liposuction, facelift, eyelid surgery, or breast procedures—can safely add hyperbaric therapy. HBOT can also help older adults and patients with a history of chronic wounds, slow healing, or chronic fatigue who want a more predictable arc back to total well-being. We screen for ear or sinus issues, certain lung conditions, and medication conflicts. If you’ve had hospital-based HBOT for conditions like diabetic ulcers or skin grafts, the experience will feel familiar, though your goals now center on comfort and cosmetic healing.
Start Smart, Prep Light
A typical session lasts 60–90 minutes. You lie back, breathe, and let the pressure rise gradually. Many patients watch television, listen to music, or nap. A clinician is present the entire time. Mild ear pressure can occur during pressurization; equalizing clears it, much like a plane ascent. There’s no anesthesia, no needles, and no downtime after your treatment—you can return to routine activity, hydration, and short walks that keep blood vessels and lymph moving.
Your plan is customized. Some procedures do well with three to five sessions spaced across the first two weeks; others benefit from a slightly longer series. The cadence is set by your surgeon and recovery team to match your body and procedure.
Many patients build a balanced recovery stack. HBOT pairs well with IV therapy for hydration and micronutrient support and with red light therapy to stimulate collagen production at the skin surface. Lymphatic massage, nutrition, and light movement keep blood flow steady and help wounds mature cleanly. Each piece supports well-being without overcomplicating your schedule.
Because HBOT is a whole-body intervention, some patients notice unexpected perks—calmer sleep, better focus, steadier energy—as oxygen delivery improves. While we never promise a cure-all, the therapeutic effects of more oxygen reaching tissues can be felt beyond the incision line.
HBOT has decades of use in hyperbaric medicine. Its safety profile is well studied when delivered by trained teams. We follow strict screening and protocols, the same mindset used for hospital indications like carbon monoxide poisoning, decompression sickness, arterial gas embolism, and hard-to-heal wounds. Cosmetic recovery sits in the supportive-care category; the goal is to make a good outcome feel smoother and more certain.
Chambers can be single-occupant (monoplace) or multiplace chamber formats. Both increase pressure above sea level and deliver pure oxygen or oxygen-rich air to drive diffusion. We’ll explain your setup on day one and guide you through every session.
Healing You Can Feel
The timeline is personal, but patterns repeat. Swelling softens. Bruising fades. Garments feel easier. Scar lines mature with less drama as new blood vessels and collagen organize. Patients with body work often report easier walking in week one; facelift patients notice less facial tension and earlier return to light social time. None of this replaces good basics—water, protein, rest—but HBOT helps those habits work harder.
