A Better Post-Op Experience

With Concentrated Oxygen Delivery

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy allows a patient to breathe pure oxygen in an environment with an elevated atmospheric pressure. The combination of oxygen and pressurization promotes new tissue and blood vessel growth, delivering more oxygen to wounds and creating the very best conditions for the body to heal. This therapy is used across medicine to benefit patients with a wide range of needs, but Dr. Benjamin Boudreaux has chosen to offer it in his practice because it can give plastic surgery patients:

A shorter healing time
Less post-op pain
Improved scar healing
Reduced swelling
Reduced risk of infection due to more white blood cells (immune cells) being present at the treatment site

“The best of the best!”

I researched many plastic surgeons in the NOLA area before deciding on Dr Boudreaux. He performed my breast implant exchange with lift 4 months ago & I am thrilled with the results; my breasts have never looked better. Dr B is a gifted surgeon & I highly recommend him. I really had a positive experience with Northshore Plastic Surgery.

What Happens During Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

As you plan your plastic surgery at our Mandeville office serving all of New Orleans, Metairie, and the Northshore, you and your surgeon will determine how many sessions you should undergo following your procedure. Each session will involve:

Each session in our hyperbaric oxygen chamber lasts about 90 minutes.

Checking Vitals

Before each session, we will check your vital signs. Diabetic patients will also have their blood sugar checked.

Preparing for Treatment

You will change into a cotton gown in a dressing room. All jewelry, hearing aids, and dentures must be removed before treatment begins.

Pressurization

You will lie down in the hyperbaric chamber. As the pressure increases within the chamber, you may feel pressure in your ears, similar to the effect of taking off in an airplane.

Relax

For about the next 90 minutes, you can read or use this time to take a nap. You will not feel pain during treatment.

Depressurization

As treatment concludes, we will let you know that we are depressurizing the chamber. You will probably notice the pressure on your eardrums decrease, and it will start to feel cooler inside the chamber.

Resume Your Day

This treatment involves no downtime, but since you will still be recovering from surgery, we recommend either returning home to rest or resuming any nonstrenuous activity you had planned for the day.
