Abstract (original English)

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has proven to be very helpful to rhinoplasty healing, particularly in complex rhinoplasty defects involving compromised vascularity, the use of flaps or composite grafts, and in cases with prior infection. Outcomes can be maximized when HBOT is combined with nanofat and the Silastic healing chamber. Safety and comfort are critical in the application of HBOT in rhinoplasty.
