-- The Practice Healthcare in Beverly Hills has announced the addition of new Services partnering with Under Pressure Hyperbarics to deliver hospital-grade hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) within its clinical setting, providing breast surgery patients with access to advanced wound-healing support as part of their post-operation care pathway. HBOT supports recovery following mastectomy and reconstructive procedures by enhancing tissue oxygenation and promoting healing at a cellular level. The integration of HBOT at the practice allows patients to receive adjunctive treatment without leaving the building, supporting continuity of care during post-operative recovery.

The introduction of on-site HBOT reflects increasing clinical interest in adjunctive therapies that improve surgical outcomes. A 2025 study published in The American Journal of Surgery reported that hyperbaric oxygen therapy reduced adverse effects following mastectomy in 65 percent of patients, demonstrating its potential role in mitigating complications and supporting post-surgical recovery.
The new hyperbaric oxygen therapy is delivered using a chamber operating at pressures exceeding 2.0 atmospheres absolute (ATA). This threshold is associated with increased oxygen delivery to compromised tissues, supporting angiogenesis and improving the viability of surgical flaps. These mechanisms are particularly relevant in breast reconstruction, where tissue healing and perfusion are critical to recovery.
At The Practice Healthcare, HBOT is delivered on-site by skilled and experience hyperbaric technicians from Under Pressure as part of a coordinated care model. Patients undergoing breast reconstruction procedures, including nipple-sparing mastectomy and advanced flap techniques, can access therapy within the same clinical environment as their surgical treatment. This approach reduces the need for external referrals and supports a more integrated recovery process.
The addition of HBOT aligns with a broader focus on evidence-based methods that support post-surgical outcomes in breast health. The program operates under the clinical direction of Dr. Cassileth, an Ivy League-trained surgeon and former Chief of Plastic Surgery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Her clinical background includes the development of one-stage breast reconstruction techniques and recognition as a Newsweek Top Plastic Surgeon from 2021 through 2025.
By incorporating hospital-grade hyperbaric oxygen therapy into its Beverly Hills practice, The Practice Healthcare aims to improve patient care with access to clinically supported recovery tools within a single care setting, emphasizing continuity, oversight, and outcome-focused treatment.
