Introduction: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) involves the administration of 100% oxygen at pressures greater than atmospheric pressure, leading to increased tissue oxygenation and enhanced wound healing. Its role in surgical practice has expanded due to its potential to improve tissue viability and manage a myriad of complications. Objectives: To evaluate the clinical indications, therapeutic benefits and treatment protocols of HBOT in facial plastic and aesthetic surgery. Study design: Literature review Methods: A literature search of electronic databases including PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar was performed to identify studies evaluating HBOT in facial plastic surgery, including its use in rhytidectomy, rhinoplasty, vascular ischemia following dermal filler injections, and keloid management. Conclusion: HBOT serves as a valuable adjunct, improving tissue oxygenation, promoting wound healing and potentially reducing complications. Early utilization may enhance surgical outcomes and recovery. Keywords hyperbaric oxygen therapy, facial plastic surgery, rhytidectomy, rhinoplasty, aesthetics
