Does Hyperbaric Oxygen treatments help breast fat transfer retention? And if so how many treatments are needed?

Breast fat transfer retention is not generally among the commonly described indications for hyperbaric oxygen (HBO). That being said, HBO is indicated for wound healing and increased blood flow which are required after breast fat grafting. If money were no object, you could give it a try as the risk profile is low. I don't think there are any good studies for this specific topic though. Best of luck!

There are no studies done with hyperbaric oxygen and healing following breast fat transfer. I am not sure that a lower pressure chamber would help either. I always recommend that patients follow their plastic surgeons' protocol as their PSs are responsible for their healing.

Hyperbaric oxygen has not been studied for this purpose. If the surgeon recommends this, it reflects pessimism on his part that fat transfer works at all. I think the whole thing will be very disappointing and a waste. But I have a suggestion. Ask that surgeon to show you his results at one year.

Dear Willowdale55,
fat viability depends a lot of surgeon technique. The fat has to be placed back into the buttocks as soon as possible so that it has a greater chance of survival. It has to be placed carefully so that not too much fat is placed in only one area. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Hyperbaric oxygen treatments could be helpful, but are not necessary for fat transfers. If you wish, consider getting just 3 to help boost the healing early.
