Get a better recovery with HBOT for plastic surgery, available only at Donath Facial Plastic Surgery. Under the expert care of double board-certified surgeon Dr. Donath, your healing process is supported with methods that help you feel comfortable and safe. The methods also help you get the results you want.
The potential benefits of HBOT include:
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a non-invasive medical treatment in which the patient breathes high concentrations of oxygen in a pressurized hyperbaric chamber, increasing oxygen delivery to tissues and organs, including those healing from surgical procedures.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy also supports the body’s natural defense mechanisms, helps reduce tissue damage, and lowers the risk of post-operative infection.
A LuxeLift℠ procedure includes three postoperative hyperbaric treatments. We usually start these treatments within a few days after surgery. The sessions align with the body’s healing phase; they help the body recover smoothly and quickly.
The chamber we use has a goal pressure of 1.5 atmospheres and is pressurized with room air, both of which lead to an overall better safety profile than hospital-based chambers. Additionally, patients appreciate the ability to fully control the treatment from inside the chamber if needed, which is not possible with hospital-type chambers.
To help further improve the safety and comfort of the treatment, we have patients wear a plush robe without their outer garments (unless they are 100% cotton), to minimize static electricity. Patients find these treatments are easy to undergo, and many notice an immediate improvement in their swelling.
LuxeLift℠ is a customized facial rejuvenation procedure that uses lifting techniques and fat transfer. This approach reduces trauma compared to traditional methods, but it still strains facial tissue while the face heals. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy supports this recovery phase by aligning with the precision and depth of LuxeLift℠. It is particularly suited to procedures that rely on tissue vitality, circulation, and a refined aesthetic finish.
Incorporating HBOT into the LuxeLift℠ protocol reflects the same commitment to detail, recovery, and outcome that defines every aspect of your experience at Donath Facial Plastic Surgery.
– Real Patient
The Staff & Doctor were very understanding & did such a good job.
I would recommend them to any one.
Hyperbaric therapy is commonly used in promoting wound healing, such as with individuals who undergo surgery.
Prospective patients have a thorough medical assessment by a healthcare professional to confirm whether they are candidates for HBOT. Only medical providers should recommend and direct HBOT to ensure the best possible outcomes and patient safety.
For the best experience, follow these simple steps before your session:
Most patients find the session relaxing and easy to tolerate.
The treatment itself is very well-tolerated by patients – they find it relaxing, and many feel it provides an immediate improvement in their healing. Many patients watch movies or their favorite streaming media, take a nap, or listen to music during their treatment. The treatment typically lasts one hour, but preparation and completion of the treatment take some time, and therefore, you may expect to be at the office for approximately 1 ½ hours. Our staff will review the methods for optimizing comfort, such as neutralizing pressure in the ears/eardrums, much like simply flying in an airplane or snorkeling.
HBOT sessions are relaxing, often lasting an hour, and many patients report feeling immediate healing benefits.

Yes. We may suggest more sessions. The need depends on how your body heals and what you want to achieve. We will talk about this with you during the follow-up care.
The chamber is private, and the patient controls it completely. Our staff watches your session. This keeps you comfortable and safe at all times.
Most patients tolerate it very well, but a medical evaluation is required to ensure it’s appropriate for your health and surgical plan.
Mild HBOT rarely causes side effects. A patient may feel ear pressure, tiredness, or sinus trouble for a short time; very similar to flying. We take every precaution to minimize risk and ensure a safe experience.
